Yup, right from Sicily! She didn't (rest her soul) speak a word of english and my mom wanted her MIL's recipe soooooo she followed her around the kitchen with a pen and paper and here's what she wrote down. Note: I guessed at the equivalents of the dried, I read somewhere that 1 tbsp of fresh = 1 tsp of dried ... this is a nice base sauce for adding your favorite meats and veggies to. Ingredients:
3 tablespoons olive oil |
1 medium onion (chopped) |
2 garlic cloves (minced) |
1 (28 ounce) can plum tomatoes (or equivalent of fresh peeled and seeded) |
1 (5 1/2 ounce) can tomato paste |
1/4 teaspoon oregano (or 1/2 tbsp fresh) |
1/8 teaspoon thyme (or 1/4 tbsp fresh) |
1/8 teaspoon basil (or 1/4 tbsp fresh) |
1/2 cup sweet vermouth |
Directions:
1. In pot, sautee onion and garlic in olive oil until onion is soft.
2. Add rest of ingredients and simmer until thick (about 35 minutes).
