Hi,
Normally I would ask my wife any question pertaining to wine. Sherri actually does the cooking; we share in finding recipes.
Sherri is out of pocket at the moment; but I know she does not use wines with "Cooking" so I did a search a found this site, titled, "Sweet Red Wines for Healthy Drinking:
And this message board:
I, like you, think that the writer probably meant chopped or possibly crushed tomatoes.
Me, I would substitute a can of Hunt's tomato Sauce. I really do not like using crushed tomatoes; to me crushed tomatoes make for too watery a sauce (unless you want to take the time to cook them down).
A RECIPE REQUEST 2104DPileggi Paprika is chancy, it is important to get a very fresh paprika which often means going to an herb shop...
I suppose you could use a can of tomato sauce and the amount drained, crushed tomatoes for the bits, you desired.
Isn't there a canned sauce with diced tomatoes?
BMS, is that "Be More Specific"? If that is it; as I wrote I was just sharing the recipes as they are written. But that does mean that I do not have any ideas as to what the ingredients might be.
I find that part of what I enjoy about the more vague recipes, is using them as a starting point and experimenting around with their ingredients.
I have several really old cookbooks, one from the 1940s French Quarter of New Orleans; that book is written in a style that requires me to completely rewrite the recipes form before I can try them.
The ingredients and amounts (if the amounts are give, sometimes they are not) are buried in the text of instructions, not listed separately.
A RECIPE REQUESTHi, I have been looking for a good seasoned Italian-style meatball for years. (I realize that "good" and "seasoned" are both subjective terms.) I have only ever found one that I considered...
Take care.
Sincerely,
David
