Preparation
Step 1
Use red, very ripe tomatoes - their ripeness will determine the final taste of the sauce. The proportions of all vegetables are approximate and can be adjusted to taste.
Step 2
Peel and rinse the onion and carrot under running water. Finely chop the onion and coarsely grate the carrot. Heat a pan until hot and add a little vegetable oil. Add the chopped onion and carrot. Sauté together for 3–5 minutes. The onion will become translucent, and the carrot will soften and lighten. Remove from heat and let cool.
Step 3
Prepare the tomatoes. If they are large and thick-skinned, you’ll need to peel them. Make shallow cuts on the tomatoes and dip them in boiling water for a few seconds - the skin will then peel off easily. If using small garden-fresh tomatoes with thin skin, you can skip peeling. Slice them and remove the stem. Place the slices into a food processor.
Step 4
Clean the bell pepper from seeds and cut it into chunks. Add to the tomatoes.
Step 5
Add the cooled sautéed mixture.
Step 6
Peel a few garlic cloves, rinse them, and add to the mix. Add herbs - I use dill, but you can also use parsley, cilantro, or basil.
Step 7
Blend all ingredients into a smooth mixture. Season with salt and ground pepper to taste. Optionally, add a bit of dried aromatic herbs. Taste the sauce - you might want to add a little sugar. Blend again to combine.
Step 8
The sauce is ready! Pour into a sauce bowl and serve with buckwheat. Enjoy your meal!
