Gravy for chicken cutlets
Description
Peel the tomatoes, chop them finely, then transfer to a saucepan along with orange juice, olive oil, spices, and starch. Cook until thickened. Let the prepared sauce cool, pour into a sauce boat, and serve with chicken patties, or with other poultry dishes.

Step 1
Lower the tomatoes into boiling water for 1 minute, remove the skin, and blend in a blender. Then strain through a sieve to remove the seeds.

Step 2
Remove the zest from the orange (do not throw the zest away; you can bake a cake with it if you wish). Cut the orange in half and squeeze out all the juice.

Step 3
Pour orange juice into tomato puree, add olive oil, lemon juice, sugar, salt, and a mixture of peppers. Add the pepper mixture to your taste—I like spicy and hot sauces, so I add a lot. Dilute the starch in a small amount of cold water and pour it into the mixture.

Step 4
Place the saucepan with the sauce over heat, bring to a boil and simmer, stirring, for about 5 minutes until thickened. If desired, you can add a little garlic to the sauce, but only a very small amount.
