Kevin's Perfect Tomato Sauce
I
get so annoyed when I hear my friends tell me that they went to the grocery store and bought canned tomato sauce
when it is super simple to make, you know exactly what goes in it
and you can control how it' made. This is a very versatile sauce that can
be used for foccaccia, pizza, panzerotti,
and homemade pastas.
Serves 4 people
Ingredients
5
cloves of garlic sliced thinly
1
medium sized onion small dice
6
Large Roma Tomatoes, large dice
2
sprigs of Fresh Basil
4
Sprigs of Fresh Italian Parsley
1/2
cup of red wine (one that you would drink)
3
tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil

florets and the simple
Cooking Method
1.
Place a medium size sauce pan on a burner and add the Extra Virgin
Olive oil and let it heat up
2.
Just before the olive oil smokes add in your thinly sliced garlic and
let it cook and lightly roast in the olive oil. After it becomes a light golden
hue add in your diced onion and let it caramelize.
3.
After the onions turn into a light caramel colour add in your red wine
and let it reduce to half.
4.
After the wine has reduced add in your fresh diced tomatoes to the pot
and let it simmer on medium high heat and stir occasionally
5.
After about 30-40 minutes the tomato sauce should reach a texture
somewhat similar to thick cooked oatmeal. The tomatoes would have broken down
into a sauce. When it has reached such point add in some Basil Leaves &
some chopped Italian parsley.
6.
Season to taste and serve with some fresh homemade ravioli. It is up to you whether you want to take out the tomato skins or not. I like to leave it in so it's more rustic.
