Ingredients
- 8 Plum Tomatoes
- 1 large Yellow Onion
- 3 cloves Garlic minced
- 1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 3/4 tsp Oregano dried
- 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper or to taste
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Roughly chop the onion, add to a food processor and blitz until finely chopped. Add the onion to the pan and cook for 5 minutes, or until translucent. Do not let the onion brown. Add the garlic to the pot, cooking for an additional minute.
- Roughly chop the tomatoes, add to a food processor and process into really small pieces. Once the onion is cooked, add the tomatoes and their liquid to the pot, along with the remaining ingredients. Simmer on low heat for 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until thickened. This will vary based on the amount of liquid the tomatoes give off. Puree for a smooth sauce or keep chunky, makes around 2 cups of sauce.
Notes
** Add 1-2 tsp honey or sugar if the tomatoes are too acidic. Freeze in a large 6 cup muffin tin for the perfect individual portion of sauce each time. Once frozen in tin, remove to a bag for up to 3 months.**
