Note

To remove tomato skins with ease, blanch them in boiling water for about 30 seconds until the skin splits, then shock in ice water.

This sauce serves as a excellent condiment for fried chicken, but also pairs well with grilled meats or can be spread on hot buttered toast.

For a smoother texture, blend the cooked mixture in a blender. For a rustic texture, mash it directly in the wok or skillet.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water or stock to reach your desired consistency.
