PREPARATION:
- Wash the green tomatoes and remove the stems using a tomato corer.

- Wash the red peppers, remove the insides, and cut them into large pieces.
- Dice the green tomatoes and red peppers using an OXO vegetable chopper. (Refer to the video for demonstration.)
- In a 28cm granite saucepan, heat Stefano’s olive oil over medium heat along with 2 whole garlic cloves and 2 red bird’s eye chili peppers.
- If you want a spicy sauce, remove the stems of the chili peppers; for a milder sauce, keep the stems.
- Once the oil is hot, add the diced green tomatoes and red peppers to the saucepan. Cover and bring it to a boil.
- Once boiling, cook the mixture uncovered for 20 minutes.
- Season with salt and remove the garlic cloves and chili peppers.
- Transfer the cooked tomatoes to a bowl and let them cool.
- Start by sterilizing the lids in boiling water for 3 minutes.
- Using a funnel, fill 500ml jars with the diced green tomatoes and peppers, filling them up to the neck of the jar.
- Wipe the rim of the jar thoroughly with a paper towel.
- Place the lid on the jar and screw it tightly. Then, unscrew it slightly and screw it again without applying too much force.
- Place the jars in an enamel canner pot with a grill at the bottom. Fill the pot with water until the water level reaches 1 inch above the jars.
- Once the water boils, let it boil at medium heat for 15 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and leave the jars in the water until they reach lukewarm temperature.
- As soon as you turn off the heat, you will hear the jars popping as they seal.
- Remove the jars from the water and check that the lids have sealed properly.
- The jars can be stored for up to one year in a dark, cool, and dry place.
- Store and enjoy!
