Hot Tomato Recipes

HOT AND SPICY TOMATO JUICE

Steps:

• If you have a food processor - chop up the tomatoes, onion, peppers and garlic (seeds and all) into a liquidy pulp and place on low to medium heat and cook down for an hour or so, stirring often to avoid scorching the bottom of the pan. If you don't have a food processor - no worries - just chop up into small pieces and throw in a large pot and cook down. It may take a little longer - but it works just as well. The important thing is to get the tomato and vegetable mixture soft and cooked down to run it easily through a strainer or food mill.
• When the mixture has heated and cooked down - strain it through a food mill into a clean pot to remove all of the skins and seeds.
• Now add black pepper, celery and garlic salt. Add to taste - some like a little more - some a little less
• Heat on a low simmering boil for another 30 to 45 minutes.
• Simply can up into quart jars, put on your lids and then water bath for 30 minutes.

Season with salt, to taste, and toss to coat in the oil. Cover the pan, raise heat a bit and cook until the tomatoes burst, about for 10 to 12 minutes.

HOT TOMATO!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400*F. Lightly oil a baking sheet, and set aside.
• Slice off the top quarter of each tomato. Set the tops aside. Using a melon baller, scoop the centers out of 3 of the tomatoes, leaving a thin shell, and place the pulp in a mixing bowl. Scoop out the pulp from the remaining 3 tomatoes, and save for another use. Invert the tomato shells onto paper towels to drain.
• Add the corn, jalapeno pepper, scallions, bell pepper, basil, cilantro, cheese, salt, and black pepper to the tomato pulp. Toss lightly until well mixed, and loosely fill the tomato shells with the mixture.
• Sprinkle each tomato with 1/2 teaspoons of cornmeal, and dot with 1/2 teaspoons of butter. Arrange the tomatoes on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake 25 minutes, until crumbs are golden brown and tomatoes are cooked through. Place the tops back on top before serving. Enjoy!

HOMEMADE HOT SAUCE
