Tomato Sauce

To prepare a delicious soup or pasta sauce, start by weighing the ingredients.

Next, peel the onion and garlic and cut the onion into thin rings while slicing the garlic into thin slices. The tomatoes are cut into four wedges for further preparation.

Heat olive oil in a pan over low heat and fry the onion and garlic in it until tender but not discolored. Then add the oregano and fry for another minute. Finally, add the tomatoes and fry for about two minutes.

Add water to the pan and bring to a boil. Then let the tomatoes cook for at least 30 minutes on low heat without a lid, allowing the sauce to reduce to about 2/3 of the original amount. During cooking, it is important to stir occasionally to prevent burning.

After cooking, puree the sauce with a blender or hand blender. Add salt to taste, but remember that the sauce is best with as little salt as possible.

Now your sauce is ready to use as a base for any soup or sauce dish. Bon appétit!
