How to Make the Freshest Tomato Sauce | Jacques Pépin Cooking at Home | KQED

Video Description

Jacques Pépin's techniques help preserve the flavor of tomato in this fresh pasta sauce . He starts by demonstrating how to cut the tomato before blanching to make tomato concassé. Blanching helps the tomato skin peel easier. Some recipes will suggest submerging in ice water after blanching, but Jacques recommends skipping this step as it changes the taste. Fresh tomatoes are one of summertime's best gifts. Happy cooking! What you'll need: 3 ripe tomatoes, olive oil, 1/4 cup onion, 1 garlic clove, fresh thyme, salt, sugar, pepper, butter Jacques Pépin Cooking At Home: Tomato Techniques Subscribe to watch a new Jacques Pépin video every week: https://www.youtube.com/kqed?sub_conf...... #jacquespepin​​​​​​​ #tomatoes #tomato #kqed About Jacques Pépin Cooking At Home: Jacques Pépin Cooking At Home features short recipe videos that transform readily-available ingredients into exciting new dishes, perfect for newly-anointed home cooks and seasoned chefs alike.
