00:00Here's all the sauces you can make from the most common mother sauce, tomat.
00:03Start with some really good quality Greek olive oil.
00:06My rule when making a tomato sauce is always use about double the amount of olive oil you think you need.
00:12It's going to add richness to the sauce.
00:13So we're going to add in some onion.
00:15We don't want to get any color at this stage.
00:17And then we're just going to sweat that down until it's got no color but it's nice and soft.
00:21So when they've just started to sweat down, I'm just going to add a touch of salt and a small amount of chopped garlic.
00:26So once it's sweat down to this level, tin of good tomatoes, a hit of black pepper, more olive oil for richness.
00:32I'm going to send it down to a gentle simmer.
00:34The sauce has been cooking for 10 minutes. I always like to add a little bit of sugar.
00:37So our sauce has had a total of 20 minutes.
00:39What you want is really nice intensity, sweetness, and then you want to balance good pinch of salt, good pinch of pepper.
00:45And then turn the heat off.
00:47And an optional add-on I always do, pie a little bunch of basil like this and just rest it in there as the sauce cools down.
00:53This is our base sauce tomato. Now I'm going to show you how to turn it into five different derivatives.
00:57This is a ribbiata sauce. Take off the tops of the chilies.
01:00I'm going to leave the seeds in. So more olive oil. Chilli goes in. Extra garlic.
01:04And on a very low heat, saute this together. Hay and pepper, about one teaspoon.
01:08Tiny bit of tomato puree. Cook off the tomato puree.
01:11Now add in three spoonfuls of your base sauce.
01:14Simulate it together until it's nice and intense and the chilies are nice and soft.
01:17And there we have it. A ribbiata. I'm going to serve this one on a flatbread with mussels.
01:21Octopus parsley and a little bit of green chili.
01:24Next up, vodka sauce. Popularized by the New York restaurant Carbone.
01:28A little bit of brunoise shallot. Tiny pinch of salt.
01:31Once it's cooked down, add some garlic, chili flakes.
01:33Add in your tomato puree and cook it out.
01:35So add in five tablespoons of vodka. Juicy alcohol.
01:38Add in some cream and the base sauce tomate.
01:40Bring this together. Stir to combine. Then bring to the boil.
01:43Optional, give it a little hand blend to make it nice and smooth.
01:46I'm serving this with a classic Carbone special, which is rigatoni a la vodka sauce.
01:51Fresh basil and some grated parmesan.
01:53Sauce provincial.
01:54Okay, so start with some more olive oil.
01:56Some more white onion. Tiny bit of garlic. One garlic coil.
01:59And sweat that down.
02:00Add in a touch of salt.
02:01Deglaze with a little splash of good quality French white wine.
02:04Reduce the wine until it's really syrupy.
02:06A few ladles full of your base sauce.
02:08Heat tablespoon of capers with a little bit of brine.
02:11Half a sprig of chopped fresh rosemary.
02:13Three sprigs of thyme. Chopped chervil. Chopped parsley.
02:16I'm serving my provincial sauce with some chicken, some courgettes,
02:19olive oil and some fresh oregano.
02:20Next sauce, classic romesco.
02:22Little bit of oil and then into a fiercely hot oven.
02:25We toast some almonds and some hazelnuts. Nice and toasted.
02:28And then I'll cover it up. Let it continue cooking.
02:30Once it's cool, remove the skin and then remove the seeds inside as well.
02:35Once everything's cooled down, add your peppers, almonds and hazelnuts.
02:38Add some smoked paprika, one tablespoon.
02:41Add in our base sauce tomat.
02:42Good glug of sherry vinegar.
02:44And finally, some olive oil.
02:46Place the sauce and put a 3-3.
02:48Finish the sauce with lots of fresh lemon juice.
02:50Pass it off with a really smooth finish.
02:52We've served our romesco sauce with a beautiful piece of stone bass
02:54and some grilled cabbage.
