You might add a 1\/4 tsp. cayenne pepper to your sauce.)<\/li>\n<li>1 whole chopped onion<\/li>\n<li>2 cloves smashed garlic, OR 1 tbsp. garlic powder<\/li>\n<li>2 basil leaves, julienned<\/li>\n<li>some capers, if you like them. I don&#8217;t.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And from there, it was simply a matter of feeling my way into a recipe: I stuffed the tomatoes into a pot, poured on the water, and waited twenty minutes. Then I dumped them into the blender, and added the other ingredients. I whizzed them up, and cooked them down for ten minutes, until some of the water cooked out. It&#8217;s a chunky, fragrant, flavor-intense sauce that would work well on short pasta with a dry asiago cheese, or on a pizza; with some meat, probably, or as a breadstick dip &#8212; endless possibilities.<\/p>\n<p>And, best of all, I will whine no more about the endless tomatoes in the garden. <\/p>\n<p>Until next year.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><a rel=\"license\" href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-nd\/3.0\/\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Creative Commons License\" style=\"border-width:0\" src=\"http:\/\/i.creativecommons.org\/l\/by-nc-nd\/3.0\/80x15.png\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><br \/>\n<br \/>This work is licensed under a<br \/>\n<a rel=\"license\" href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-nd\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 License<\/a>.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oh, YUM!
