Ingredients:
- 3 quarts tomatoes , home bottled ( home bottled will be better if you have them but storebought will work if it's low sodium)
Directions:
- Drain your jars or cans of tomatoes. SAVE THE JUICE! I'll post a recipe for my clear tomato soup. You can use it for that so nothing goes to waste.
- Work the tomatoes with your hands through a tight sieve to get rid of most of the excess liquid. You need just enough so that you can easily blend the pulp in a blender or food processer.
- Blend the pulp. Set aside.
- Finely dice your onion. Ok, you are ready to start cooking.
- Put oil in a medium sized heavy saucepan, bring up to heat and add onions to sauteé. I like a little extra oil, but use your discretion if you want less.
- Add crushed garlic. Garlic added before onions will get overcooked because there is never enough volume to balance the amount of heat in the pan, and overcooked garlic tastes a little acrid, when well-cooked garlic has a much smoother flavor. So always have your onions in as a protective base to your garlic. Let it get fully fragrant.
- Add all your dry ingredients, and sauteé in oil until onions are transparent.
- Add tomato pulp and red wine. It should be red, not white because it gives a deeper, richer flavor.
- Put a lid on and let it cook on medium heat stirring intermittently. It will take varying amounts of time depending on how thick you want it. I tried cooking it with a splash screen instead of a lid to get the excess liquid out quickly, but it was still such a mess that it's better to use the lid.
- When you have the consistency you want, turn off the heat and serve it up with your favorite pasta, or as a dipping sauce, on pizza, calzones etc. etc. etc.
