Sauce from gooseberry with garlic to meat - recipe
Ingredients:
- gooseberries - 420 g;
- garlic teeth - 3 pcs .;
- basil violet - 3-4 branches;
- salt stone - to taste;
- pepper ground black - to taste;
- olive oil - 20 ml.
Preparation
To prepare the sauce you can take gooseberries of any kind and any color. Berries pre-rinse under running cool water, and then break off the ponytails and stems. We also prepare garlic teeth, cleaning them from the husks and rinsing them under the stream of water. From the branches of the basil, cut off the leaves and grind them together with the prepared berries and garlic in the blender's container or by turning it a couple of times through a meat grinder. Now grate the sauce through a strainer, separating unnecessary bones and skins in it, and season it with salt and ground black pepper, pour olive oil and mix thoroughly. Note also that when using a blender, a significant portion of the bones is grinded, and the taste of the sauce is slightly viscous. When using a meat grinder, there is no such effect, so you should consider this fact, choosing the way of processing the components for the sauce.
Immediately after preparation, the sauce made from gooseberry is fluid in consistency. But if you cool it a bit in the fridge, its texture is more dense and jelly.
If desired, you can make the sauce more piquant, adding to the taste of ground coriander.
