Tomato sauce - sometimes a real one

Time

Total preparation time: 30 min.

If I read that way, which many refer to as tomato sauce, the toenails will pop up. A "real" tomato sauce is quite simple:

ingredients

  • olive oil
  • 1 onion
  • 1 tin of pizza tomato (alternatively fresh, peeled tomatoes)
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • red wine
  • balsamic vinegar
  • Salt pepper
  • fresh or dried herbs: oregano, sage, thyme, basil, possibly chilli and paprika
  • sugar
  • Possibly. tomato paste

preparation

  1. Sweat chopped onion in a little olive oil - do not fry. Then put a tin of pizza tomatoes on it (you can also take fresh, peeled tomatoes, but that makes little sense).
  2. Then a chopped garlic clove comes in - or two.
  3. A little red wine, a small shot of balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Then - fresh or dried - herbs: oregano, sage, thyme and basil. Maybe - if you like - some more chili and a little paprika.
  5. Simmer well and season with a little sugar. If it is too thin then tie with 1 tbsp tomato paste - ready.

And how long do you need for the whole "work"? Not much longer than making a baguette sauce "edible" in flavor.

Also, that's not pure chemistry like from the glass, no flavor enhancer, no binder, no E-numbers.
