What are some of your stupidly easy sauces? (Emphasis on the "stupidly easy".) (lemmy.world)

In a pinch when out of tartar sauce I've mixed green relish with mayo and it's, passable.

For that matter, mayo with hot sauce and ketchup was my accompaniment to some otherwise bland pizza and tater tots this afternoon.

Microwave Hollandaise sauce. Can go wrong easily, but when I wanted it quick it works fairly well. Just have to tend the microwave every 15-20 seconds to mix it before it coagulates. But it's done its job more than once for me.

I like to make my own pizza sauce as my local grocer usually has near expired tomatoes for pennies. It's easy to make, but a bit time consuming.

For around 10oz or so of finished sauce

  • 4 large tomatoes
  • 1/2 onion
  • 1 clove of garlic or 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 2 tsp dried basil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Pepper to taste

Boil water, core tomatoes, cut an X into the bottom of the tomatoes, boil for 30 seconds or so until skin starts to curl, place tomatoes in an ice bath for a few minutes.

Peel the skins and blend the tomatoes. Pour into a sauce pan and add onions, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 60 minutes stirring occasionally. Blend one more time. I like to chill it overnight to let the flavors develop.
