Today I was fortunate enough to get a gigantic bag of tomatoes and mild peppers from my Dad's garden. Since chili season is right around the corner I decided to make a nice chili base and freeze it, I can smell it simmering now and it tastes delicious and fresh. I cannot wait to use it this fall and remember all of the wonderful tastes and smells of a summer garden :)
Peel and cut up tomatoes, I squeezed out some of the excess juice and removed as many seeds as I could without wasting too much time (they don't bother me much).
put tomatoes into a large pan, add some olive oil, a head of garlic, a couple mild peppers, onion ... anything you like or need to use up!
Simmer on low/medium heat until cooked down
Pour the contents into a food processor-for chunkier sauce/blender-for smooth sauce and whoala you have a base for chili or spaghetti! Freeze if you want to save.
