Indeed It is one of the items in the menu of a local restaurant.
Neil Ashby Feb 25, 2014:
@ Blanca Going by the question category, "Cooking / Culinary / Restaurant menu", I think the text is a description given on a restaurant menu rather than a recipe. Maybe the asker can shed further light on the matter....
Blanca Collazo Feb 25, 2014:
notice that what you mention is after the tomatoes have been processed, reduced, but as a name in a recipe, it is tomato reduction.
Charles Davis Feb 25, 2014:
Tomato reduction and reduced tomatoes I think "tomato reduction" is really the right expression. On the other hand:

"Return the reduced tomatoes to a boil over low heat"
Sara Moulton, Sara Moulton's Everyday Family Dinners, 105

"Add the bay leaf, pepper flakes, reduced tomatoes, and white sauce and stir till well blended."
James Villas, Crazy for Casseroles, 482
http://books.google.es/books?id=sZy6aW5AP_wC&pg=PA482&lpg=PA...

"Choice of orange segments, poached garlic cloves, reduced tomatoes, jalapenos, cilantro, minced red onions, pico de gallo, roasted corn, black beans & tortilla chips"

a tomato chimichurri sauce reduction

"Chimichurri" should not be translated.

Thank you, César.
Peer comment(s):
agree Ray Ables : Yes. Although "chimichurri" is in fact a "vinaigrette" and could be translated as such. I would suggest "a tomato vinaigrette reduction," or, if balsamic vinegar is used, "a balsamic tomato reduction."
1 hr
agree Andrew Bramhall : Yes, this implies the two most important factors;that the sauce additionally contains tomato and that the tomato content has been reduced;

Chimichurri Sauce

Chimichurri Sauce
You can mince the ingredients by hand or use a food processor, which is faster and easier. There are many variations on this condiment, and it is served with everything from empanadas to grilled steak.

disagree Andrew Bramhall : And how many chefs would look at this thinking that translators know nothing of cuisine?? It would appear on a menu as ""Chimichurri sauce with a tomato reduction"// Alright then, customers and chefs, whatever;

lol, no they've been reduced by cooking them! Given the context I'd have thought that was obvious, no? // or it could mean that they've been demoralised with insults and 'reduced to tears'// I don't know but it's not for chefs it's for customers!!
agree Carlos Blanco, B.Sc. in Chemistry : But I do agree with Oliver in that it is "reduction". "Chimichurri sauce made from (or with) a tomatoes reduction"?

Thanks Carlos,
agree philgoddard : How many people who know anything about cooking would look at this and think it means bargain-priced tomatoes?

reduced tomato(e) chimichurri

I would also like caramelized tomatoe, since that's what happens when you reduce it, but let's just leave it at that...
Note from asker:
Thank you, Susie!
Peer comment(s):
agree Carol Gullidge : or you cd maybe even get away with simply "tomato chimichurri" I found a recipe for this using sun-dried tomatoes. If you retain the "reduced", then of course you'd also need to hyphenate the first 2 words
18 mins
disagree Andrew Bramhall : No; 'reduced tomato' means tomatos at a cheaper price; where they're sweated down, it's a 'reduction' ; this wouldn't work as a menu title, only as a description

A chimichurri reduction

or "Tomato Chimichurri reduction" if you need to put the word 'tomato' in for comprehension purposes;

Anything with 'reduced tomato' isn't correct, sadly; 'reduced tomato' means either tomatoes bought at a lower price or the use of a decreased quantity of them; these sauces are called 'reductions', where onions, tomatoes, whatever, are sweated down to reduce in volume;
Note from asker:
Thank you, Oliver! : )
Peer comment(s):
neutral Carlos Blanco, B.Sc. in Chemistry : But tomato can not be left out since the original chimichurri does not use tomatoes as an ingredient.
1 hr
Well, stick it in then!
neutral Neil Ashby : "It would appear on a menu as ""Chimichurri sauce with a tomato reduction" " = applying your pedantic logic this would be understood as "a Chimichurri sauce ACCOMPANIED by a tomato reduction", since "reduced tomatoes"(on a menu!!) =cut-price tomatoes, no?

Nothing pedantic about my logic;with or accompanied by, both fine; my brother's a master chef and hotelier, I know how these things are worded on menus;

tomatoes reduction

I think Neil and Fatima's answer is better because in chimichurri the ingredients are not cooked but chopped and mixed raw. In this recipe I would think that the tomato reduction is added after preparing the chimichurri.

All the "Tomato Chimichurri Sauce" I found are made with raw chopped tomatoes added to the regular ingredients.

I the second link the tomatoes are "sun-dried" which is not the same as "reduction"

Apparently reduced tomatoes is just tomato sauce:
