‘sup Sauce Gang

Last tomatoes from the garden. #SundayGravy

A pot containing tomatoes, basil, onions and garlic simmering on the stove.

Tomatoes from my aunt’s garden (I have not been blessed with any abundance there. Yet). Basil is mine. It’s a simple sauce that tastes 100% better after a couple days. Due to my health issues, baby steps are necessary. #sundaygravy #backyardgardening #resistancegardening #homegrown

Wow, this #commercial. I was just commenting on the relatively few number of commercials that I've truly enjoyed after seeing the wonderful Vattenfall ad. And then this beauty pops up on my timeline by #SundayGravy in Australia.

It's incredible!

Also, during any part of this, be gentle with the bottom of the pot. If you feel any resistance there, something is sticking or burnt, and you don’t wanna break it up and make the sauce bitter. Watch your heat so it’s occasional bubbles but not a full boil. Make time, consigliere. #SundayGravy

Now you’re going to cover the pot, leaving a crack, and let everything simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours. I want the tomatoes to get soft so they break up easy, because we’re milling out the seeds and pulp. Till then, send someone out for bagels, put on coffee, and wait. Stir every ~15 min. #SundayGravy

A piece of beef with a medium brown sear on it, held in tongs.

Maybe this much sear on the beef. It’s gonna vary with what cut of meat you use. That’ll add flavor to the sauce, which you’re now gonna let come up to a rolling boil. #SundayGravy

A pork chop, held on a meat fork over a cast iron frying pan with three other pork chops in it, with a light brown sear on one side.

Like for the pork, maybe this much of a sear. Then these go straight into the tomato sauce, which should be bubbling after you put the heat under it. You put the heat under it, right? #SundayGravy

You’re not cooking these pieces of meat through; you’re just putting a sear on them, some color, and they’ll finish in the sauce over a few hours. #SundayGravy

Pieces of pork chop and chuck steak cut up on a large white plate, next to two empty cans of peeled plum tomatoes.

This is the part that suuuucks n this apartment with no exhaust fan: Alla dis meat’s gotta get seahed off. The smoke, Maddon’. #SundayGravy

A white plate sitting on a cutting board holds four boneless pork chops and two chuck steaks.

“Yeeeah! Why can’t we have some meat? What about them? They’re fressssh!” #SundayGravy

A pot of cut, peeled, plum tomatoes, with Italian seasonings, oregano, basil, and some other spices next to eight big cloves of garlic.

A tablespoon this time of Italian herb mix, 1 teaspoon each of oregano and basil, about 20 grinds of fresh pepper, half a teaspoon of salt, and a teaspoon of sugar. You may debate the sugar in your hearts. #SundayGravy

A cook pot nearly filled with sliced canned plum tomatoes, with eight fat cloves of garlic floating in one part of it.

Don’t worry, there’s more garlic coming. #SundayGravy

Sunday sauce (some call it gravy) has been a tradition in my family since my grandparents came to this country from Naples, Italy. With my mom gone, I’m so proud to carry the tradition.
