Directions
African Tomato Sauce, posted by request from congo cookbook, MADE FOR AFRICAN COOKING FORUM, TAG GAME, FEB 2012: Of course there are about a thousand recipes for tomato sauce! I chose this one because it’s from the Congo Cookbook, but being in Africa I am not sure how authentic it is The nutmeg is a doubtful spice to use with tomatoes I made your recipe x 10, because I am drowning in lovely organic tomatoes right now! I managed to fill 5 bottles, with some sauce left over I liked the idea of adding tomato paste for thickening, but the line about adding water is strange because tomatoes are always watery when cooked!! I pressed out as much juice from mine as I could (I also peeled them), and then reduced the sauce for about 1 1/2 hours to get rid of excess liquid Did not use nutmeg, and added 1 chopped pickled cayenne pepper Normally such a sauce also needs a little sugar, but my vine-ripe tomatoes didn’t need it this time The sauce tasted great Thanks!
