Ingredients
- 3 tbsp (45 ml) Olive oil
- 2 large Garlic cloves sliced thinly
- 1 cup Red Spanish onion chopped finely
- ½ tsp Dried thyme leaves
- ½ tsp Dried oregano
- 4 Bay leaves large
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar optional
- 4 tbsp (65 g) Tomato paste
- 6 cups (1 kg) Fresh Tomatoes chopped finely
- 1 tsp Salt
- ½ tsp Pepper
- 4 tbsp Basil fresh torn
Instructions
- Saute - Add oil and garlic into a large pot or Dutch oven. With the heat on low, let the garlic infuse into the oil for a minute, making sure not to brown or burn it. Once the garlic is fragrant, add the dried herbs. Followed by the diced onions and bay leaves. Saute for 2 minutes more.3 tbsp Olive oil, 2 large Garlic cloves, 1 cup Red Spanish onion, ½ tsp Dried thyme leaves, 4 tbsp Basil , ½ tsp Dried oregano
- Sugar - Gently move the onions to one side of the pan, keeping the center near the heat clear. Add in the brown sugar. Let it caramelize slowly so it browns, not burns. This will add a little brown color that will intensify the sauce's color.2 tbsp Brown sugar
- Tomatoes - Now, mix in the onions again and continue to cook. Next, add the chopped tomatoes and tomato paste. Season with salt and pepper to taste.6 cups Fresh Tomatoes, 4 tbsp Tomato paste, 1 tsp Salt, ½ tsp Pepper
- Simmer - Cover the pan, lower the heat to a simmer, and let it simmer gently for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, you should have a thick, dark tomato sauce.
