Plain quenelles are choux pastry poached and cooked in water, then reheated in sauce. Here they braise 20 to 30 minutes in simple tomato sauce: canned peeled tomatoes, crushed garlic, Provençal herbs, olive oil. They'll double in volume as they absorb the liquid. It's a dish that just needs gentle attention, nothing complicated.
