Tomato Sauce

Written by: adekun on 1 August, 2008 8:53 pm - Filed under: recipes

six or more big tomatoes
a few small onions
half a carrot
one clove of garlic
1 tbsp olive oil
two vegetable stock cubes
good pinch of salt
pepper
rosemary
basil

Sweat the diced onions and garlic in the oil. Add the diced carrot after a few minutes. Crumble in the stock cubes, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Add the chopped tomatoes cook for 15 minutes. Blend/liquidise and return to the heat. Simmer until reduced sufficiently. Mix in the basil.

If the tomatoes are a little green, I add a little brown sugar. Old peppers tend to get added. Their skins are rubbed off after getting charred over the stove having cooled in a sealed plastic bag.
