Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the fresh tomatoes.
- Place the tomatoes on a baking sheet. Roast them in the preheated oven until their skins blister and burst, about 20-25 minutes. Covering the baking sheet with a lid for the first 10-15 minutes will help them steam and soften.
- Remove the tomatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, peel off the skins. They should slip off easily.
- Mash the peeled tomatoes. Mince half of the garlic cloves. In a bowl, combine the mashed tomatoes, minced garlic, salt, and smoked paprika. Mix well.
- In a pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the remaining garlic cloves, thinly sliced, and sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic, as this will create a bitter taste.
- Pour the sautéed garlic and butter into the tomato mixture. Stir to combine thoroughly. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Serve the sauce immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for later use. This sauce is delicious with pasta, pizza, eggs, or as a base for other dishes.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For a richer, silkier sauce, add a splash of pomegranate molasses or a squeeze of lemon juice at the end. This highlights the Armenian tangy profile and enhances the sauce’s brightness.
- If you prefer a chunky texture, reserve a portion of the sautéed tomatoes before blending and stir them back in for added body and visual appeal.
- To make this sauce vegan, simply replace butter with olive oil or a plant-based butter, which will also add a fruity undertone to the finished sauce.
Expert Tips
- Roast the tomatoes before blending for a deeper, smokier flavor.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
- Pair this sauce with grilled meats, vegetables, or use it as a base for shakshuka.
Storage Instructions
- This sauce freezes well in small portions; use silicone ice cube trays for easy thawing and single-serve convenience for eggs, pasta, or sandwiches.
