Tomato Sauce for Herbed TVP Loaf

[Guest guest]

Heat a heavy bottomed sauce pan and saute:

1 Tbsp olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped (about 1 cup)

2 cloves of garlic, smashed & chopped

 

When onions are soft and beginning to brown, add:

2 cups of canned plum tomatoes, chopped

3/4 cups water or vegetable broth

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1 bay leaf

 

Simmer over low heat, uncovered. stirring occasionally

for about 20 minutes. Add a little more water or

broth if needed. Don't let it scorch.

 

Remove the bay leaf and add:

1/2 tsp oregano

1/2 tsp basil

 

Cook for 5 more minutes. Sauce should be thick. You

can put it in a blender or food processor to make it

smoother.

 

I used a hand blender to break up the bigger chunks

and it came out perfectly.

Thank goodness I was never sent to school;

it would have rubbed off some of the originality.
