Homemade tomato sauce for meat, fish or pasta dishes

Yesterday I went shopping in our local market and saw these amazing tomatoes being sold at a crazy cheap price because they were overripe, so I decided to buy a kilo and make this rich tomato sauce which I used with rabbit, but which would also work great with pasta or fish as the title suggests. Murcia is famous for its tomato sauce and once a woman from that lovely Spanish city told me the secret was to cook it slowly - the slower, the tastier. So only make this when you aren't in a rush.

Ingredient

1 kg

very ripe tomatoes

large onion

5 cloves

garlic

1 glass

white wine

1 handful

basil leaves

A few

sprigs fresh thyme

A few

sprigs rosemary

heaped teaspoon sugar

1 dash

olive oil

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Get the ingredients ready

* Step 2

Chop the onions and garlic into very small pieces. Add a little oil to a non-stick frying pan and saute gently for 10 minutes

* Step 3

When the onion is tender, add the glass of wine and turn heat up to moderate. Cook for another 10 minutes

* Step 4

Slice the tomatoes in half and grate them into a large bowl

* Step 5

When the wine has evaporated and the onions are transparent

* Step 6

Add the grated tomatoes

* Step 7

Stir well and turn the heat up

* Step 8

Wash and chop the herbs

* Step 9

When the sauce is bubbling, add the herbs, half a teaspoon of salt and a few grinds of black pepper.

* Step 10

Turn the heat down again to minimum, cover the pan and leave for 30 minutes

* Step 11

Take the lid off and add a heaped teaspoon of brown sugar. Stir well and turn the heat up to moderate. Leave for another 20 minutes uncovered so the sauce thickens. (If you are going to use it for a meat sauce, brown the meat in another pan and add it after adding the sugar).
