This sauce is a nice, light version of typical tomato sauce. It also has the ability to make my dreams of tripping through fields of lavender whilst looking chic and well put together seem slightly more attainable. Ahhh c’est la vie.
1 can whole peeled roma or plum tomatoes
Six sprigs of fresh thyme (remove leaves from the stems)
2 tablespoons fresh oregano
1/3 of large chopped red onion (about 1 cup)
Olive oil
Whole clove garlic
Salt
Teaspoon sugar
Sauté onion on medium heat until translucent. Add entire contents of the can of tomatoes, plus the herbs. Lower heat to less than a simmer, and let cook for about an hour. The tomatoes should disintegrate, or fall apart with prodding from a spoon. Taste and if too acidic, add sugar. Then add salt to taste.
