This is from James Barber, 'The Urban Peasant'. It's just what the name implies, quick and simple, oh yes, don't forget delicious. It's that too. It's a great dish to whip up while your guests are sitting on the other side of the kitchen bar sharing a glass or two of Riesling. Then serve at the kitchen table over spaghetti with garlic bread on the side, for sauce control. With the pasta serve a nice robust Chianti. This is a great side dish for anything off of the grill. Ingredients:
3 tablespoons olive oil |
1 yellow onion, chopped |
3 garlic cloves, pressed |
4 tomatoes, very ripe, chopped |
1 tablespoon tomato paste |
1/3 cup red wine |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/4 cup fresh basil |
Directions:
1. Heat a large frying pan over med-high heat.
2. Add olive oil.
3. Sauté (stir fry) onions for 2 minutes.
4. Add garlic sauté another minute.
5. Add tomatoes and tomato paste, cook for 2 minutes.
6. Add wine, reduce heat, simmer for 20 minutes.
7. Keep an eye on it, add more wine as necessary to keep a bit of liquid in the pan.
8. Season with salt and basil.
9. Serve over spaghetti or maybe angel hair pasta.
