Pizza sauce is the soul of the pizza. It must be seasoned to perfection with simple ingredients and allowed to slow simmer for hours bringing out the sweet, savory herbaceous aroma that makes pizza pizza.

What special ingredients do you add to make yours the best pizza sauce in the world?

Basically any that look good. I usually use multicolored cherry tomatoes, but I use local heirlooms if they're in season. Above all, if any look really great I use those.

Literally the opposite is true, especially for pizza sauce. Pizza sauce should be cooked for 30-45 minutes at most, and for some styles of pizza 5-10 minutes is ideal.

My typical guideline is 1/2 fresh 1/2 canned, with the fresh cooked down first over fairly high heat prior to the addition of the canned, which are cooked already and have been sitting around.

If I had to guess how to make a green tomato sauce, I would think: probably oven roast or grill de-seeded half of the first set of green tomatoes (or 1/4 of the total), letting them really take a beating. Combine with the second half of the first set of green tomatoes (1/4 of the total), raw, and blend them into a puree. Bring to boil, reduce to simmer for an hour or so. Put into airtight container and let sit in the fridge for a few days. This would be your "canned" sauce.

To make the final green sauce, you'd take 1/2 a medium onion, super fine dice, olive oil, and get it translucent over medium high. You're looking to dissolve the onion in the fresh tomatoes. Add the fresh green tomatoes (1/2 of the total), diced to 1/2" chunks, and keep over medium-high. You want everything to tighten way up and almost start caramelizing. Then you dump in the "canned" sauce and "deglaze", bring to a raging boil, then turn it to a low simmer for an hour, stirring maybe every 10 min.

If you do make this, please document and post it. Maybe I'll make it the next time I see really nice green tomatoes. It would make a really killer pasta where you thought it's pesto-based but it's really a nice tomato sauce.

Nothing worse than getting a pizza with no sauce on it. Seems like a lot of places near me dont put nearly enough. Like you can see the red, but it's so sparse you cant taste it

Come to think of it, every now and again white/pale yellow carrots show up at the farmer's market. A few of those with a super, ultra-fine dice at the same time as the onions would add a nice natural sweetness as they disintegrate and don't change the sauce color. Hmm.

this is generally how they make sauces sweeter, yes. A bad example, but Chef Boyardee puts shitload of carrots into their ""sauce"" to sweeten

Yeah, you're right. I use a lot of green tomatoes, and I was thinking for a green pizza sauce, sweetness is going to be an issue. I really try to avoid dumping sugar in my sauces, and normal orange/purple carrot don't really conflict with a red sauce when dissolving in it.

With a green sauce, though, anything that's not green or white is going to discolor your sauce. Then I thought, fuck, I'm retarded, there are such things as yellow and white carrots, and these shouldn't discolor a nice green sauce. Fuck, you know what? The first time I encounter plausible ingredients for this I'll buy them and document what happens for all of us fags that get off on this shit.

Mine isn't the best in the world, but.

For a large pot of sauce (1.5L give or take), I use a fist of roasted garlic, a fist of fresh, two jugs of passata, a small tin of thick tomato paste, five unripe roma tomatoes, an onion, a carrot, five or so reasonably hot chilies (green preferably), a fistful of fresh parsley, about a quarter of that of fresh oregano (or a fistful of dried. The stuff I grow is possessed), and about half-again of that of fresh basil. A pinch of fennel seed, three sprigs of thyme, three bay leaves and what always seems like too much salt and pepper when I put it in.

I start the onions, fennel and chilies in a tiny splash of olive oil over med-low. When I can smell the fennel I add the roasted garlic, let that go for about a minute, then the tomato paste and sauce. Crank the heat a bit to bring it to a napalm-spewing low boil, reduce back down to low so it's just simmering. The romas, fresh garlic, parsley, basil, oregano, salt and pepper go in, and I let that go for about five mins. Off goes the heat, in it goes to the blender (lid held on tightly), and in 3 batches that's ready for the container. Thyme and bay go directly into the container whole, it spends about fifteen mins on the counter. I give it a stir and into the fridge for at least 8h.

Same here. Though I will use canned San Marzano tomatoes off-season, since imported tomatoes taste like shit.
