RECIPE: Fresh Tomato Coulis with Garlic and Herbs
Remember to visit our Chef at the Market every Wednesday evening and every Saturday morning at the Boulder County Farmers' Market. Watch demonstrations, pick up free recipes, and gather advice for cooking with seasonal ingredients fresh from the market.

This sauce goes well with fresh pasta, or as a garnish for sautéed vegetables or soup. Makes about 1 pint.

Ingredients:

3 oz shallots, minced
6 cloves garlic, crushed and minced
2 Tbs olive oil
1 ½ lbs tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
2 tsp fresh chopped herbs such as parsley, basil or oregano
Salt and pepper to taste

Method:

  1. Cook shallots and garlic over medium heat in olive oil until soft.
  2. Increase heat. Add tomatoes and half the herbs. Cook until excess liquid has cooked out and the sauce has thickened.
  3. Stir in the remainder of the herbs and season with salt and pepper.

FOOD TRIVIA

What summer fruit is referred to as the "golden apple?"

Answer:
The apricot can be traced back to China at least 4,000 years ago, and it first appeared in Greek mythology as the "golden apple." It now thrives in most temperate climates, with California producing about 90 percent of the American crop. Because they're highly perishable and seasonal, 90 percent of fresh apricots are marketed in June and July.
