With the help of a sharp knife eliminate the soul more leathery and seeds. reduce the fillets and dice them keep the tomato pulp in a jar in the refrigerator, covered with a drizzle of olive oil, it will last for a couple of days. If you want it to last longer, you can prepare the tomato sauce canned, boiling it in a sterilized jars for 20 minutes. It will be very good, but it will lose its distinctive fresh taste.
