Coulis de tomates

A coulis de tomates is a compote of tomatoes, served hot and produced without any thickening agent other than the emulsion created by the combination of the acid of the tomatoes and the extra-virgin olive oil. A little finely chopped shallot, onion or garlic simmered for a moment in olive oil is the only aromatic used, with the addition of a little salt, ground pepper and sugar to bring out the flavours of the ripe tomatoes.
