Homemade Tomato Sauce
- 700 grams Ripe tomatoes
- 1/2 medium Onions (minced)
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 5 Basil leaves
- 3 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (to stir-fry)
- 1 just under 1/2 teaspoon Rock salt (high quality salt, if possible)
- How to peel the tomatoes: Poke a hole into the bottom of the tomato with a toothpick.
- Place the tomato in boiling water for 10 seconds and then the skin should peel off.
- Immediately place in a bowl and roughly chop.
- Cook the garlic in the olive oil on low heat until fragrant.
- Add the onion and stir-fry on medium heat until transparent.
- If it seems that it is going to burn, lower the heat to low.
- Add the chopped tomatoes, the basil leaves, and the salt to Step 2.
- Cook on medium heat until it begins to boil.
- Once boiling, lower the heat to low and let it boil down for 20-30 minutes.
- Remove any scum that rises to the surface.
- Once it has boiled down about 2/3 and has thickened, it's done.
- (Mine usually finishes in about 25 minutes.)
- If you want to store the sauce: Pour the slightly cooled sauce into a sterilized jar and seal tightly with a lid.
- Once it has cooled completely, store in the refrigerator.
- It will keep for about 10 days.
