Lazy Tomato Sauce (recipe)

[Guest guest]

I'm sorry, I didn't see these posts (went on strike, did I?) last evening.

Belatedly, then . . .

 

I don't often use a crockpot for my fresh (or frozen tomatoes) - go figure -

gotta

change that - but this should work well. I'd zap the fresh or frozen tomatoes

with the submersible wand early in the cooking and then again, as stated

below.

 

LAZY PASTA SAUCE

 

(This makes enough for a lasagna, say, for around two persons with leftovers

or 4 persons without ;=) I double or treble this amount and freeze in batches)

 

1 medium onion, finely chopped

1/2 a medium carrot, grated

2 or 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped

2 Tablespoons fresh herbs - oregano, thyme, etc. or use half amt. of dried

1 - 28 Ounce Can of crushed tomatoes (or equivalent fresh)

1 or 2 Tbsp tomato paste (optional)

salt, pepper and chillies to taste.

 

Dump all in crockpot and stir well, esp. if using the tomato paste (this

thickens

and enriches the sauce, but if you don't like it you don't need to use it.) Cook

for absolutely ages on low or four hours or so on high. Sauce should be

around the consistency of sloppy porridge. Towards the end of cooking, zap it

all with a submersible magic wand-blender, stir and taste for seasonings.

 

Best, Pat ;=)
