Fresh Tomato Sauce

Ingredients:

6 TBSP EVOO
1 large onion, finely chopped
5 cloves garlic, finely minced
8 medium/large Heirloom tomatoes
Salt
Pepper
12 fresh basil, minced
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper

Instructions:

Bring a large pot of water to boil. To prepare the tomatoes, cut an X into the stem end and drop them into the boiling water for 3-4 minutes or until you see the skins begin to slip off.

Transfer the tomatoes to a colander in the sink and run cold water over them until they are cool enough to handle.

Peel the skins off the tomatoes and cut them in half. Cut out the small core and scoop out the seeds. Dice the tomatoes.

In a large saucepan, heat the EVOO over medium heat until it's sizzling. Add the onion and stir often until it is soft and translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the tomatoes, salt and pepper, basil, oregano and red pepper. Simmer for 20 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.

Collard Greens with Ham

Ingredients: 1 ½ teaspoons of Kosher salt 2 pounds of collard greens; stemmed, washed in several changes of water, and coarsely chopped Chopped ham 1/4 cup chicken broth Instructions: Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil in a deep pot. Add the salt and greens and stir until wilted. Cover and cook until the greens are just tender (~7 minutes). Drain in a colander. Rinse the pot with cold water to cool and then refill with cold water. Pour the greens into the cold water to stop the cooking process. Gather a handful of greens, lift out of water, and squeeze dry. Roughly cut up the drained greens and sauté with your bacon fat and the ham. All you gotta do, is add ¼ cup of chicken broth, cover for 2 minutes and you’re done! Collards cooked this way aren’t overly bitter — perfectly tender, bright green, and delicious. Recipe from http://nomnompaleo.com/post/1...
