Quick Tomato Sauce

Posted in Cuisine at 9:13 am by rachel

My sister let me in on her secret to tomato sauce – a few tablespoons of vinegar – and I will never buy the stuff in a bottle again.

I added the following ingredients in the order listed, then simmered for about 10 minutes, to let some of the vinegar cook down. Who knew homemade sauce could make for such a quick and easy meal?

~ 2 T olive oil
~ 2 large onions, chopped
~ 3 cloves garlic, minced
~ 6 tomatoes, blanched, seeds and skin removed (use canned in a pinch)
~ 4 large basil leaves, chopped (use scissors to make chopping easier)
~ about 75g tomato paste
~ 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
