    Do everything in the first paragraph in the nicely detailed guide by Zeppo, then instead put the tomatoes whole into a blender, (even the stalks fuck it, coz they’re filled with goodness) chuck some tomato paste, a little vinegar some sugar, water and pepper and blend the fuck out of it. I like lots paprika in mine. When putting it in the pan cook for as long and slow as possible. At least an hour if you can spare the time. Plum tinned tomatoes are probably the best, but i know you asked about fresh.

      Ooooh, maybe not the stems. It won’t kill you but they’re high in alkaloids that can cause digestive issues. Your recipe sounds like mine, but I finish by wilting just a bit of spinach in it for colour and those good vitamins, minus the toilet tax.

        Sounds odd, but i love the smell of the stems. To me they smell more of tomato’s than the actual fruit itself so I just blend it in! Personally never had an issue.

          You be careful with those stems. I agree they smell better than the tomatoes themselves but they could make someone sick.

          A thought: Garnish it with a stem on the side of the plate and take a whiff with each bite. Pinky finger up, because this is Sophisticated Cuisine.

              I think I will try it myself next time I cook tomatoes, even canned ones. I have a scraggly grape-tomato vine with only enough fruit on it to give one a day to my turtle, but I could cut a fresh sprig for maximum scent.
