Title: GREEK TOMATO SAUCE WITH OLIVE OIL
Categories: Greek, Sauces
Yield: 1 servings
2 tb Olive oil
1 sm Onion; chopped
2 Garlic cloves; minced
2 lb Fresh tomatoes*
1 ts Granulated sugar
1/4 c Red wine
Salt & freshly ground pepper
1 Stick cinnamon (optional)
2 Sprigs parsley; chopped
1 Sprig fresh basil; chopped
*Note: Tomatoes should be peeled and chopped if fresh,
or you may substitute 1 two-and-one-half pound can
plum tomatoes, chopped. Heat the oil in a heavy
saucepan, stir in the onions, and cook gently until
transparent. Add the garlic, tomatoes, sugar, wine,
salt and pepper, and cinnamon, if desired. Taste for
seasoning, then allow the sauce to simmer gently for
30 minutes. Remove the cinnamon stick before serving
hot. NOTE: For a thicker sauce, add 1/4 cup tomato
paste diluted with 1/4 cup water when adding the
tomatoes. For a smoother consistency, the sauce may
be strained and seeds discarded just before the
parsley and basil are added.
