I made a sauce with too much olive oil. Can I reduce?

I made a tomato based sauce just a bit ago.


I must have added too much olive oil when cooking the garlic, because the sauce is a bit oily now.


Is there any way I can remove, reduce, or minimize the oil?I made a sauce with too much olive oil. Can I reduce?
If the oil rises to the top as the sauce cools, you might be able to skim it off with a spoon or suction if off with a turkey baster. Otherwise, just add more of all the ingredients except olive oil, make a larger pot of sauce, and freeze part of it.I made a sauce with too much olive oil. Can I reduce?
Only thing you can do is strain it, but that is only if it is a chunky sauce. Or, if you have time on your hands, turn the heat down, stop stirring and let the oil separate. Then spoon it out.
try draining it or let it cool and skim the fat off you could add some corn flour it might still be a bit oily but with a bit of luck might be ok


best of luck
If you refrigerate it, you can skim off the oil on top. You can also try to sop it up with paper towels when it's hot
Don't reduce it, add more! Just put in more of all the ingredients, especially vinegar. Unless you made a gigantic amount it should keep until you finish it, if you put it in a refrigerator.
Chill it. The oil will rise to the top, and will likely harden up a bit. Then you can skim the excess off.
Mark hit the nail on the head! Go with that solution. That is what I would do.
Can't think of the perfect way to do so, but maybe if you have the extra supplies, add to it to make a larger batch? You can freeze the extra for another dish. Or maybe let it sit till the oil comes up to the top and spoon it out, or soak it up as much as you can with a paper towel. good luck!
You can add flour or strain it.





To strain it, take another pot and a strainer and pour the sauce into the strainer. If the sauce is thick enough most of the sauce will stay in the strainer and the oil will flow into the pot below. It might not reduce all of it, but it will certainly help.





Good Luck
More olive oil the better for me, but here's what I would do if you want to get rid of the excess...





Take a big piece of hard bread or large hard roll and use as a sponge. Turn off the heat, stop stirring, and let the oil rise to the top. Take the bread and just dip it gently in the oil and it will sop it up like a sponge. You may have to use several pieces depending on the amount of oil. That works better for me than skimming.





It will not reduce nor will it harden if refrigerated so sopping or skimming is your only choice, other than adding more ingredients.





I would just stir it in and serve it. Olive oil is heart healthy!
add flour?
Chilling it and Skim of the Top when cold or just Skim it as cooking...you can't reduce Oil by 'cooking' to Reduce it!
the suggestions to add more of the other ingredients are very good. personally unless you added WAY to much just let it go and make sure to serve bread with the meal to mop up all the yummy sauce and olive oil that is very good for your health anyway
reducing just gets rid of water in the sauce. maybe just add more tomato to the dish.
Let it cool and skim some off.
Olive oil doesn't reduce. Oil doesn't evaporate the way water does.





If you really want to get rid of the oil, turn off the sauce so it stops simmering and the oil rises neatly to the top, then just skim some off with a spoon or sop it up with a paper towel.





Olive oil is great on pasta, Unless you're trying to go really low fat, you can just leave it in the sauce. Give it a good stir before adding it to the pasta. It'll be great.
You could try draining it, the oil should pour out before the sauce does.
simmer the sauce to reduce
