In a medium nonreactive skillet, heat the oil over moderately low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until golden, about 4 minutes. Discard the garlic if desired. 2. Add the tomatoes, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 30 minutes. Soft bits of tomato will remain, and the sauce should be thick enough to hold its shape on a spoon. (The sauce can be made ahead and kept covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.) Stir in the basil just before serving. * Crushed, peeled garlic cloves can be discarded after browning for a very subtle flavor or left in and discarded at the end of cooking for a slightly more emphatic garlic taste. More often than not I used minced garlic and leave it in. This gives the sauce a strong garlic flavor. NOTE: Many southern Italians refer to a quick tomato sauce as "marinara" because it could be made at a moment's notice by a fisherman's wife upon her husband's return. Serve over breaded or fried foods or mixed into baked pasta dishes or spaghetti, it is the most common southern Italian tomato sauce. I like to make a simple marinara, which I can later adjust by adding sauteed onions, other fresh herbs, such as oregano, parsley, marjoram or rosemary, or by adding hot peppers.

Spare ribs, country ribs, or any other pork Not too much fat. Cut off any gross excess, and cut them to EVEN thickness. You'll ruin everything if you cook the meat unevenly. You may compensate by scoring the meat. In a large baking pan, soak the ribs with cider vinegar, after which sprinkle them with garlic salt and finely ground black pepper. (Don't use pepper mills, or other peppers.) It doesn't seem to matter how long the ribs soak, or how much vinegar is on them. Just make sure it hits all sides, you don't have to puncture them. This sweetens the meat. The key to the fire is the hickory chips. Keep feeding these amazing little fellows to the charcoal. The flavor comes out of these chips and you cannot do without them. Make sure the fat and chips don't light up your whole dinner and ruin it. Cooking: A moderate hot fire a couple of inches or more from the meat, and a grill of reasonable cleanness. As the meat cooks turn it often, do not let it burn, do not baste it with anything. Don't cover the grill and don't stray too far -- fire is always hiding in the wings. Here is the catch -- the trick -- the hard part, is the timing. You may ruin some meals before you hit it, but the time to take them off the grill is one minute after trichina danger is past. As soon as the meat turns brown it's time to eat. You can use the small strips you cut off to judge just when things are perfect. Special Purpose Sauce: (don't eat it cold, it's awful) 1 bottle Open Pit, One bottle A-1 Sauce, 1/4 C of molasses. Start re-heating the sauce until slow boil, dump in the cold pork from the fridge. alt. without sauce wrap the meat in foil and heat at 325 oven for 15-20 minutes. Sauce can be stored and re-used, but remember it will have pork fat in it now.

MMMMM MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Broiled Tomatoes (Mexican) Categories: Mexican, Sauces Yield: 1 servings Tomatoes Many Mexican recipes call for tomatoes to be asados (roasted). Traditionally they are put onto a hot comal and cooked until the skin is wrinkled and brown and the flesh is soft right through--this takes about 20 to 25 minutes for an 8 ounce tomato. However, since this method is very messy, it is best to line a shallow metal pan with foil and put the tomatoes in it. Place them under a hot broiler--do not have the flame too high or the tomato will burn without cooking through--and turn them from time to time so that they cook through evenly--the skin will be blistered and charred. A medium tomato will take about 20 minutes. Blend the tomato, skin, core, and seeds to a fairly smoothe sauce. The skin and core give both body and flavor to the sauce. And never mind if the skin ~is- charred; that adds character, too. If the skin is very badly blackened and hard in places, then remove a little of it. This method of cooking tomatoes makes for a very rich-flavored sauce. FromThe Cuisines of Mexico by Diana Kennedy, 1972.

Rub tomato halves with this mixture, sprinkle with salt and freshly cracked pepper and roast in 500-degree oven until they begin to take o some serious color, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven, cool to room temperature and dice. Meanwhile, grill habanero peppers over a medium-hot fire until slightly colored, 2 to 3 minutes. Temove peppers from fire and mince. Be very careful when working with this pepper. Wear gloves when mincing it, and if you get any of the juice on your skin, wash it off with a mild bleach solution, which neutralizes the capsaicin. Also, be sure not to rub your eyes while working with these peppers, and wash your hands well after you're done. These little guys are incendiary. In medium-size bowl, combine tomatoes, peppers, 1/4 cup olive oil, lime juice and cilantro, mix well, and prepare for takeoff. This salsa will keep, covered and refrigerated, about 5 to 6 weeks, mainly because no mold or bacteria would dare to come near the stuff. Yields 2 cups.

It is very "picante". However, if you use 3 chiles, it is only pleasantly picante. This sauce should have a thick, rough consistency and is used with frijoles, rice, or broiled meats. It is best eaten fresh but will keep for a few days in the refrigerator without spoiling. It does not freeze well. Roughly chop the tomatoes, add a little at a time with the rest of the ingredients to a blender jar, and blend for a few seconds with each addition until the sauce has a rough consistency. the key to salsa verde is the tomatillos (tomate verde -- NOT just a green tomato)...don't know where you're from, but if it's the west or southwest, you'll probably find them in the super...if not, they are available canned, in a mexican food section.

Add the remaining ingredients and mix by hand, bruising the tomato pieces. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve at once as this salsa doesn't keep well. The difference between this salsa and Pico De Gallo is that this recipe calls for oregano and Pice De Gallo calls for cilantro. MMMMM MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Salsa Picante Categories: Sauces, Mexican Yield: 1 servings 2 c Tomatoes, canned, with juice 1 sm Onion 2 Chile serrano 1 pn Sugar Salt, to taste Now are we talking about the mild, Old El Paso-type green chiles (which are a mild sort of chile poblano), or are we talking about jalapenos and serranos? It makes a buncha difference. Salsa picante (which is what we mean when we talk about "salsa" down here) is made with one or both of the last two. Acting on the presumption that it's salsa picante that you mean, here's a recipe. One serrano equals two jalapenos. If you use jalapenos, removing the veins from the inside will make it less hot. Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until finely chopped. Pour into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer 30 minutes. Cool slightly, pour into a pint jar, and refrigerate, or process in a boiling water bath 10 minutes (in which case reduce the cooking time the same amount). This sauce will keep three to four weeks in the refrigerator.
