Servings: 4
  • 500 g Tomatoes (e.g. San Marzano)
  • 1 Onion
  • 3 TABLESPOONS + some good olive oil
  • 7-10 Tbsp Salt
  • 7-10 Tbsp Chilli powder
  • 7-10 Tbsp Sugar
  • 10 Pimientos
  • 7-10 Tbsp Sea salt
  • 2 stem(s) Basil
  • 4 (125 g each) Burrata balls

Directions

  1. 1

    Scratch tomatoes crosswise. Place in a bowl and boil over with boiling water. Then rinse with cold water and remove the skin. Cut the tomatoes into small pieces. Peel onion and dice very finely.

  2. 2

    Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a saucepan. Sauté the onion in it. Add tomatoes and simmer covered for about 10 minutes. Season with salt, chilli and sugar.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile wash the pimientos and pat them dry well. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan. Fry the Pimientos for 5-6 minutes, turning them until the skin becomes wrinkled but not too brown. Sprinkle with sea salt.

  4. 4

    Wash the basil, shake dry and pluck the leaves. Season the tomato sauce with salt, chilli and sugar and divide it between four plates. Place 1 burrata on each plate. Drizzle with a little oil and sprinkle with coarse pepper.

  5. 5

    Place the pimientos on top and garnish with basil. Baguette tastes good with it.
