First Go Around with my Immersion Blender

I got a Target gift card for Christmas and decided to buy an immersion blender. I have wanted one for a while, but never acted upon it. I found one and decided, why not just get it? I wanted to start making homemade sauces and to thicken up soups. I winged my first recipe using it. I made homemade tomato dipping sauce. I used it to go over tofu and rice.

Homemade Tomato Sauce

1 can of dice tomatoes

Fresh cracked pepper

2 cloves of garlic

5 leaves of basil or 1 tablespoon dried basil

I also added a handful of spinach

Method:

Put all ingredients into a tall  container to blend

Blend up and down with an immersion blender

This was such a quick and easy way to make a homemade sauce! I am excited to use the blender for even more things. This recipe would be good to dip with bread sticks or serve on toasted break as an appetizer. I would make it creamier if you wanted to use it as a sauce for pasta. It worked well to drizzle over tofu and rice. 

Happy Cooking!
