From The Pizza Lab, Here’s A Signature Pizza Sauce
In
case you missed my pizza posts and were wondering, “Has she given up on pizza?”
hold on, I’m back!
Because,
we still enjoy our Tuesday pizza day at home…
Because,
I’ve not written a pizza post lately…
And (a
strong) BECAUSE, I’ve not given up on my efforts in perfecting this dish…
It’s
true that I haven’t been experimenting much lately. I have a couple more of
different pizza bases to try, but that I must do when I’m at total peace. These
days making pizza has to happen in the swing of my wand and I do not have the
time to invest in thinking or practicing. So it has been more like the fool
proof ones mostly.
But,
before I make this into yet another routine cooking affair, which if happens I
wouldn’t forgive myself, I thought, I should go on experimenting. Since sauce
is comparatively easier and less time consuming to work with, today I have a
signature pizza sauce exclusively from my pizza lab!
Now,
why I call it signature? Because, it has an ingredient which even I’m unsure I’ll be able to recreate later! Well, yes, I laughed out loud too! :P I had a
little over half a cup of leftover barbecue pizza sauce I prepared last week
and I introduced that along with a few new ingredients in the sauce this time.
Believe me, this one without doubt knocked my sock off and made me realize that
the best pizza sauce ever MUST have “leftover sauce” in it!
So
here is the drool-worthy sauce recipe
Signature
Pizza Sauce a.k.a Best Ever Pizza Sauce
YOU
NEED:
Olive
oil, ½ tbsp
Garlic-green
chilli paste, 1 tbsp (about 5 cloves of garlic and 1 green chilli made into a
paste)
Onion
powder, 1 tsp
Pepper
powder, 1 tsp
Tomato
puree, 200 ml
Homemade
barbecue sauce, ½ cup (you could try substituting this with bottled bbq sauce
too)
Cilantro
paste, 2 tbsp
Salt to taste
I have not added extra sugar in this recipe, because the leftover sauce took care of that part.
HOW
TO:
Heat
oil in a pan and sauté garlic-green chilli paste for a couple of seconds. To
this add onion and pepper powders, followed by tomato puree. Stir well for the
flavours to combine and as soon as the sauce turns deep red in colour, pour the
barbecue sauce. Once again stir well for the sauces to combine. Now add the
cilantro paste, give it a stir; check and add salt, if needed. Let the sauce
boil and switch off once it thickens.
This
will make about 1 cup sauce.
Now, roll or stretch out your pizza base and spread the sauce. Sprinkle cheese over, followed by your favourite topping and finish with cheese again. For more details on topping, you may check the following recipes.
