Courses: Sauces
Serves: 6 people

Recipe Ingredients

2 tablespoons 30mlOlive oil
2 tablespoons 30mlGarlic cloves - minced (large)
1 tablespoon 15mlOnion - coarsely chopped (large)
1 tablespoon 15mlTomato paste
1/2 teaspoon 2.5mlSalt
1/2 teaspoon 2.5mlFreshly-ground black pepper
2 teaspoons 10mlBalsamic vinegar
3 lbs 1362g / 48ozPlum tomatoes - peeled, seeded,
  And coarsely chopped to equal 2 quarts
1 cup 237mlFresh basil - (lightly packed)
3 tablespoons 45mlFreshly-chopped parsley

Recipe Instructions

Heat oil in a 5-quart or larger pressure cooker. Add garlic and onion and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, tomato paste, pepper, salt, vinegar and basil. Stir until mixture begins to come to a boil.

Close lid and bring pressure to the second red ring (15 pounds pressure) over medium-high heat. Immediately reduce the heat to stabilize pressure at the second red ring and cook for 7 minutes.

Remove from heat and let cool until the pressure comes down naturally.

Remove the lid. Sauce will have some excess liquid depending on your tomatoes. Place the cooker over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to prevent burning until the sauce begins to thicken. Add parsley in the last few minutes of cooking.

This recipe yields 6 to 10 servings.
