i do not have a food meal, what is the substitute love the receipe added more garlic, always do love garlic, i like to have a good amount of fiber in my diet and notice that the food meal extracts the fiber, how do you feel about this

Hi Denise,

I love the food mill because I love the texture and resulting consistency for this sauce and many soups. For me, this is an important part to great cooking. True, you are pulling out some of the fiber here but you can get this from so many other sources. As an alternative, you could simply chop things up much finer and then disregard the puree or food mill instructions. You will be left with a rustic (chunky) but equally flavorful sauce. Thanks for the comment.

thank you so much for your response Dawn. I made this sause this morning, i just love it. thank you

This sauce was good. However, I enjoy my oven dried tomatoes ( Rouxbe recipe:)) more on their own and feel they were a bit "lost" in this sauce. I was happy to use an antique food mill I just acquired and pleased to remove the seeds but the Dutch in me rebelled a bit at losing some of the onion and fiber in spite of Dawn's recomendation to leave it in if we preferrred.
