Method
- Prep. Pour everything into a blender jar or deep 1-quart (.9-liter) container. Use a blender (stick blender or countertop) to blend everything just until a bit chunky. Short pulses are best because overblending can make this sauce thin and completely puree the basil. Use immediately or refrigerate for 4 to 5 days. For a more uniform texture without the seeds, pass the tomatoes through a food mill. In that case, chop the basil.
Notes
About the salt. Remember, kosher salt is half the concentration of table salt so if you use table salt, use half as much. Click here to read more about salt and how it works.
