Quick and Simple Pizza Sauce from Tomatoes
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 3/4 tsp - 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 2 cans chopped tomatoes
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1.5 tsp basil
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp sugar (optional)
Preparation
Heat oil in a pan. Add the diced onions + garlic to the pan along with salt, cook for 5 - 8 minutes till soft and translucent.
Add in the chopped tomatoes, herbs and pepper. Simmer gently for 10 mins until the sauce is thicker, richer and darker in colour. Have a taste and add sugar only if the tomatoes are very acidic.
Blend the sauce using a handheld immersion blender or allow to cool and use a normal blender. Use as required, great on pizzas or you can use it as a sauce for meatballs/pasta. Any leftover sauce can be frozen and used at a later stage, defrost completely and mix well before using.
