Washing Up
I've been inundated with romas, so I decided to take a crack at a homemade sauce.
15-20 Boiled, peeled roma tomatoes roughly chopped
1 finely chopped onion
1/2 c. whole basil leaves
4 cloves garlic, smashed
4 T olive oil
1 c red wine
S&P
Heat oil at a very low simmer and add the basil and garlic. Not to cook or brown, just to flavor the oil. After 15 minutes discard the basil and garlic, bring heat to med/hi and saute the onions until transparent. Again, not to brown.
Add the tomatoes and wine. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 90 minutes stirring occasionally. Once the tomatoes are somewhat broken down, I use a fine potato masher to break up any larger pieces.
Remove the lid and reduce for 30 minutes or until the sauce has thickened. Season with S & P.
How do you make yours?
