Reviews
I absolutely love this sauce. Whenever I grill, I make a batch of this and serve it with crostini. I modify the herb (cilantro to go with my menu (so occasionally toss in fresh basil or mint instead of cilantro. Hands down one of my favorite, go-to appetizers! Also great with fresh mozzarella!
It needed a little zip so I added some crushed red peppers and a splash of balsamic. Otherwise it was easy & delish.
Made some extra and froze it. When thawed it looked awfully brown. Everyone said it looked good but I thought it looked like runny poo. But it did taste really good.
Flavor is enjoyed by 9 of 10 my guests. I served with warm and cold large shrimp Suspicion…very useful on variety of foods. Annie, Fremont, CA.
Made this sauce from tomatoes from the garden and served it over store-bought gnocchi. It was great! Next time I’m grilling, I’ll throw some tomatoes and peppers on the grill, just so I can make this sauce for later in the week! I didn’t need the olive oil, so I didn’t add it or it would have made the sauce too soupy… maybe because I used garden tomatoes instead of plum tomatoes. I figured it made the sauce a little healthier anyway.
The red wine vinegar gives this sauce a great punch! It was easy and delicious; I used it as a new standby on an old favorite…meatloaf.
