Marinara

[Johnny West]

What I do... cooked 25 to mats from the garden, CSA, and a few left over from canning; scalded, peeled, and chopped into a sauce pan and boiled the snot out of them - added big handful of dried basil, dried petersile and a half can of tomato paste I had on hand. In another big sauce pan sautéed a large yellow onion, two teaspoon chopped garlic, and a cup of pinot noir simmered till reasonably thick. Towards the end added a whole box of sliced crimini mushrooms. There was enough leftover for three more meals.Normally I don't use that many tomatoes but wanted to use them up.

Just saw this, Johnny and it looks wonderful!

What is petersile?

What do you do with your meatballs?

Petersile is parsley.

I refer to bake meatballs - basic recipe of chopped garlic, burger, eggs, Italian bread crumbs and parmesan. Sometimes I add raisins or dried currents.

I was going to do this last night but lunch was too big and didn't feel like it.

This is basically what I do but add red wine, tomato paste, carrot, sometimes mushrooms, and hamburger.

I saw Nick do this many years ago on PBS.
