Tomato Sauce with Carrots and Basil in Thermomix

There was a time, not so long ago, when tomatoes were viewed with suspicion in Europe. Imported from the New World in the 16th century, they were believed to be toxic, suitable only for decorating gardens at best. It wasn't until the 18th century, in southern Italy, that cautious cooks finally tasted cooked tomatoes... and sparked a culinary revolution. What was once a suspicious fruit has become one of the pillars of Mediterranean cuisine.
