Red Bell Pepper Mousse with Tomato Sauce

A vibrant two-layer dish in red and pink! This mousse has a gentle sweetness from the vegetables.
You can make it the day before, making it convenient for celebrations or entertaining guests.
The origin of this recipe
I once had a delicious appetizer at a restaurant, which I believe was a red bell pepper mousse...
The dish was cut into squares, and the tomatoes were likely fruit tomatoes, but I experimented to make it easy to prepare at home.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Grill the bell pepper, then place it in cold water and peel off the skin (it should peel off easily by hand). Remove the seeds and roughly chop.
- 2
(Note) Grill until the skin is completely blackened (this brings out the sweetness). If it doesn't fit in the grill, cut it in half lengthwise.
- 3
Add the chopped bell pepper, sugar, salt, and milk to a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Meanwhile, soak the gelatin.
- 4
Transfer the mixture from the food processor to a pot, warm it without boiling, then mix in the heavy cream and add the gelatin. Divide into dishes and refrigerate once it has cooled slightly.
- 5
(Note) If you refrigerate before it cools slightly, the bell pepper particles may settle. Gently stir just before refrigerating for best results.
- 6
To make the sauce, peel the tomato (remove seeds if desired) and finely chop with a knife (or use a food processor). Season with salt, sugar, and lemon juice.
- 7
For reference... I use about 1/4 teaspoon each of sugar and salt, and just a few drops of lemon juice. Add dried herbs to taste.
- 8
Once the mousse has set, pour the sauce over it and garnish as desired to finish!

I asked my mother-in-law for her tomato sauce recipe only to find out that she doesn't really have one. I watched her make the sauce and saw that she doesn't use meauring cups or spoons. So I made notes as best I could, but it never tastes quite the same. My husband likes the sauce, so I guess it gets a pass! You can also make meat sauce by adding 0.5 kg cooked lean ground beef.ingridbagnariol

This is as basic and sublime as Italian cooking gets. My daughter requests this all the time. In the winter, she would ask for this and I would say, we need to wait for summer tomatoes.

This healthy, flavorful tomato sauce is a staple in many dishes and is really simple to make. Lots of herbs and seasonings make it so delicious that my family prefers this over anything store bought.You can use whatever onion you have on hand. Sometimes I like using a sweet onion, other times I mix in some red, so go with whatever’s available and what you like.As always, use recipes as a guideline and feel free adjust the spices to suit your preferences. For example, add more red pepper flakes to add some heat, or more sugar to make it sweeter. Kat -

Simple Tomato Sauce Simple Tomato Sauce
I thought of a simple tomato sauce that would work well with all kinds of cooking.*If you don't have a blender, you can use canned chopped tomatoes. *If you're using fresh tomatoes, chop them up and then heat them in the microwave (I cooked 3 tomatoes for 5 minutes).Please simmer them after blending. If you want to preserve the fresh taste of the tomatoes, then you don't have to add them to the blender. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221 cookpad.japan -
