FAQS
Can I use red tomatoes instead?
You can substitute red tomatoes, but the flavour and colour will differ. Yellow tomatoes are sweeter and less acidic.
Can I make this sauce ahead of time?

What can I do if my sauce is too acidic?
Adding a bit of sugar can help balance the acidity. You can also try adding a splash of cream to mellow out the flavours.
Can I freeze the sauce?
