Ripe fruits
Recipe idea with your harvest of ‘San Marzano Marzito’ F1 Italian tomatoes. Prepare a quick sauce with the tomatoes from your harvest. Cut them into pieces and sauté a chopped onion in olive oil in a saucepan. Add the tomatoes, a crushed garlic clove, and a small sprig of thyme. Simmer uncovered, stirring, until the flesh breaks down and the liquid reduces. Remove the sprig of thyme. For a smooth texture, pass the sauce through a food mill; for a rustic sauce, simply mash the pieces with a spoon. Adjust the salt at the end of cooking and serve over pasta or with roasted vegetables. The size of the fruit guides the cut: keep small fruits whole and cut larger tomatoes into easy-to-eat pieces. Very juicy flesh benefits from being added at the last minute to a fresh preparation.
