Pizza Sauce
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon whole fennel seeds, toasted
- 1 sprig fresh thyme
- 1 sprig fresh oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- One 28-ounce can whole tomatoes, coarsely crushed, with juices
- 1 tablespoon dry red wine
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
- One 15-ounce can tomato puree
Directions
- Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a small saucepot. Add onion, garlic, fennel seeds, thyme, oregano, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper and cook, stirring, until onions are soft, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, wine, and sugar and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 30 minutes. Stir in tomato puree, remove from heat, and allow sauce to cool completely; discard sprigs before using. If you prefer a smoother consistency, puree in a blender or food processor.
