  • So basic ingredient forgot.

  • Some is stored all and like we mentioned before, it's normally very brothy and very thin.

  • But we're gonna take it a little step further and give a little bit of substance to it.

  • Thor, though, than normally would be used because what people do is when they cook through hell for their some bar, they take the water.

  • That's remaining on top and they skim it off.

  • And then that's the base of their ism.

  • But in our case, we're gonna be using a little bit of that through, though, to give a substance.

  • Close it up and we're gonna take it to the stone and pressure Cook it for three missiles.

  • So you wanted to whistle three times.

  • Now, doorbell normally cooks with only one whistle, But in this case, we want that the result to be really mashed up well, and that's why we're cooking it further.

  • So that doll is going right now.

  • Actually, it's cooked it whistle three times we turned it off.

  • Now we're waiting for the pressure to go down, so meanwhile, we'll get everything else ready.

  • In fact, everything is backed up and we've got two tomatoes over here, approximately the size we chop them down, you can again make them a little bigger or smaller.

  • Choice is yours.

  • And traditionally a lot of people actually, they blanche the tomatoes.

  • So what you do is you just kind of got a little cross over here, and you just dump them in hot boiling water just for about a minute or so.
