  • Episode #72 - What leads to a scrabble score of either zero or millions?!

    Embark on an enticing journey with The Long Road as we savour the flavours of a Mediterranean classic, Sauce Vialli.

    RECIPE for Sauce vialli


    6 medium tomatoes 

    Half a white onion, finely chopped 

    2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

    3/4 tsp paprika 

    Optional 1/2 tsp chilli powder 

    3 basil leaves 


    Cover the bottom of a saucepan with olive oil on low heat. Put the onions in. Sweat until translucent. Add garlic & paprika. Mix well, cook for 2/3 mins on low heat. Add 6 diced tomatoes. Add chopped basil leaves to taste. Add 1 tbsp water. Stir together well, put a lid on it - cook on lowest heat for 45-60 mins (until toms puréed). You can assist this by mashing with a fork periodically. Be mindful of no sticking. Season at end with salt & pepper to taste.


    NOTE: Final consistency should be spreadable with a spoon, not pourable. Leave to cool. Place in Kilner/Mason jar. Use on toasted sourdough rubbed with garlic. Top with serrano ham if desired!
