Tomato Board Sauce is made on a board and served from the board. It is not fancy. It is rustic. It is fabulously fresh and delicious.
Start with the best cherry tomatoes you can get, bought directly from a farm or market. Good olive oil, garlic, salt, and basil. Simple.
I serve this with great bread that has been toasted. Rustic sour dough, baguette, or flatbread. The sauce is wonderful draped over grilled meats. Or in the morning with eggs.
Fresh Tomato Board Sauce
1-pint cherry tomatoes, mixed color
2-3 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil leaves
Working directly on a cutting board that is suitable for serving upon, coarsely chop the cherry tomatoes. Add in the minced garlic, using the back of the knife to combine with the tomatoes. Sprinkle on the salt. Pour about half of the oil over the tomatoes, again using the knife to combine, gently mixing in with the released tomato juices. Garnish with the basil, adding more olive oil to create a saucy consistency. Taste for seasoning adding a bit more salt as needed.
