Pomodoro sauce | Marco Pierre White's secret recipe

[@tfp3163]

Marco wearing a white shirt and keeping it spotless as he spends over an hour making tomato sauce is the hardest flex I’ve seen in my entire life.

You're all missing this: "FRESH tomatoes are only PERFECT for two months out of the year." To "CONSISTENTLY" make a "DELICIOUS" sauce 12 months of the year, always mix 50/50 "FRESH (maybe still not "PERFECT)"/"canned". In regards to consistency, he makes perfect sense. Additionally, at the end of the video he states you can't taste that the "tinned" tomatoes were actually "tinned", which makes them closer to a fresh tomato flavour. He achieves this by describing how he removes the bitterness of them at the end of the video, which altogether keeps it closer to the flavour of the fresh tomatoes. Key words here are "delicious" and "consistent".

I couldn't stop watching this video, and I actually wanted to stop: but I couldn't. I'm a retired mechanic and I'm enjoying cooking in my old age. I like to think I was an exceptional mechanic, and because I was (or think I was) the emphasis on process and method struck a chord with me. I'll be giving this a try.

"Let the stove do the work." Oh thank god! I have spent 73 days trying to rub my hands together to generate the heat under my Creuset Dutch, and then I watched this video! Now my tomato sauce is PERFECT!

The more you know

[@kunkkaaa3080]

Removing the water content from grated onions and garlic does not remove their acidity; rather, it can concentrate both the flavor and the acidity. Here's a more detailed explanation: Water Content: When you grate onions and garlic, the cell walls are broken, releasing water and other components. If you then proceed to drain or press out the water, you're removing some of the liquid content but not the acidic compounds. Acidity: The acidity in onions and garlic comes from their sulfur-containing compounds and other organic acids. These compounds are intrinsic to the vegetable's structure and are not removed with the water. When you drain the water, the remaining grated onion or garlic will still contain the same acidic compounds, potentially in a more concentrated form because the water, which might have diluted these compounds, has been removed. In summary, while draining water from grated onions and garlic might change their texture and reduce the volume of liquid in your dish, it doesn't fundamentally reduce their acidity. It may even intensify the acidic taste because the acidic compounds are now less diluted.

Thank you! I seems he is making things up

[@MrDacedric]

@@G-unar Much respect to Marco and others but it's super common with chefs of his era and even today to just either repeat what you were taught or come up with your own ideas of why something works without truly understanding it. They may, and obviously do, get to delicious results but it's caused a massive amount of "old wives tales" to be spread about cooking.

[@tapwater424]

Is it possible that the heat breaks down acidic compounds in the food? I'm not a chemist

[@richardmacdonald8934]

Right. You tell that to him then. 😮

[@wherestheexit5572]

Pretty sure Marco said cooking the onion & garlic reduces the acidity, you wrote all that for nothing! 😂

[@jakubstupka2922]

Liked this video and saved to the recipe folder. When tomatoes will be abundant after harvest in my area, I will make the sauce.

[@cognition26]

This is what he means by "perfection is lots of little things done right". This is just the tomato sauce and look at how much effort he has put into making it and it is only part of a recipe.

[@Dream..ççç]

He is actually one of the few intellectual, talented and hard working people left on this earth that his existance or non existance will make a difference.

[@jamesmartin2325]

I haven’t made the sauce, but I have drained down my heating system and capped off my taps to remove the water content and now im trying to guide my hob into filling out my tax return whilst I burn my fingers on my piano…

So easy to be a chef nowadays you have the privilege to watch the masters at work with great tips I started in 1996 there was no videos you learned working your ass off So be grateful

Man, all these years later, hes still passionate as ever about cooking. Love it

as much as i'd love to troll, this is a wood stove, so he has no other option to control the heat. Other than of course simply telling the fire how hot it should be.

[@eddjordan2399]

@@marton_horvathif i was a wood burning stove a Marco told me to heat up or cool down id do it.

[@user-yv6xw7ns3o]

I'd say that's extremely simplistic. I don't think Marco even would stick to that in all circumstances. There are many ways to heat a pan.

[@racey1979]

@@marton_horvath I’m just taking the piss mate, not criticising. I love MPW, but he does often contradict himself. I’ve seen him say the same thing cooking on gas, “don’t move your pan, let the pan do the work”. And then in other videos he’s cooking on gas and moving his pan all the time.

[@Im-just-Stardust]

Wow for sure trying this with the tomatoes from the garden this summer

[@Trevorwheeler78]

Marco explains techniques better than any other chef, he also encourages you to modify to what you like. It also helps He like Keith Floyd have natural TV charisma
