Green Tomato Sauce
This recipe was created one day using the final harvest of the season from my garden. I gathered everything remaining, from herbs to vegetables, chopped them up, seasoned, roasted, and blended it all together. To my surprise, an amazing sauce was born. I love the color because it tricks your eyes into thinking it won’t be good—until you taste it. The way it hits all five flavor profiles will make you say, “Wait a minute, you’ve got something special here!” I hope you enjoy it—feel free to share your thoughts by tagging me on Instagram or leaving a comment below.

Chef’s Favorite Tools and Ingredients
12x 14 Sheet Pans: Everyone loves a good sheet pan, and the big one can be a pain if you don’t have a lot of items. These mini pans are perfect for smaller dishes/ingredients. ( 12x 14 Sheet Pans with racks)
Emulsion Blender: One of the top 5 hand tools to have in the kitchen or event boxes. This quick, easy-to-clean blender gets the job done when you need to blend sauces, soups, dressings, or anything else, especially when you don’t have space for a larger blender. (“ChefMan” Emulsion Blender)
Bowl Plates: My preferred plate for nearly any meal when plating. It’s neither too deep nor too large, providing enough space for sauce and the depth needed to creatively plate my dishes. (Corelle Bowl Plate)
Pot: I received this pot as a gift one time, and it has become my go-to pot. (IMUSA Black Pot)
Seasoning Blends: I always use my own blends, “The Base” and “Chicken Bouillon”. You can grab them here.
