Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 200 g sliced onion
  • 3 garlic cloves minced, chopped, grated or grated
  • 10 canned tomatoes or 10 extra ripe plum tomatoes + 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Place olive oil and onion on a pan over medium heat.
  • Cook the onions while stirring every once in a white until they turn translucent and then let them become golden as well. Don't turn the heat up or the onions will not cook through and you'll get a strong onion flavour in your sauce.
  • Add the garlic (and the tomato paste as well if you'll be using fresh tomatoes) and stir for one minute as they cook.
  • Add the canned tomatoes (whole) or the fresh tomatoes (peeled and cut in 4) and let them release liquid. Let it boil until there's little liquid on the pan.
  • If your pan can go in the oven, then it goes straight into a preheated oven at 250C / 480F for 15-20min or until you see that it's caramelizing on top and there's nearly no liquid left. If your pan cannot go in the oven then transfer the contents to a baking dish or tray first.
  • Remove the sauce from the pan and blend until smooth. Adjust the level of salt and pepper and done!
