I personally avoid tomato and eggplant. They contribute to a balance that I do not find advantageous.

There really is no right or wrong, only different balances. If one is willing to pay the price, anything can be done. Keeping things simple is the best way for me. I see no need to create a huge construct that is complicated and unmanageable when a simple solution is more direct and effective. The point is to recognize the yin/yang of things and align them appropriately. Everything has a place and function.

My wife is Sicilian and has devised a moch-red sauce that leaves no sence of deprivation for tomato. I believe she uses beet for color and umivinegar for tang. An Italian compliment of herbing puts it over the top! I would caution on the use of garlic. It is acid forming and really a balance for heavy meat. Use it carefully if you must.
