My Favorite Tomato Sauce
4 servings
INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 small onions, peeled, trimmed, and minced
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
4 pounds Roma tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and diced
2 cups chicken stock
14 large fresh basil leaves, washed and dried
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
METHOD
1 In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
2 Add the onion and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic
and cook 1 minute longer.
3 Add the tomato paste and then the tomatoes, cook for 2 - 3 minutes,
and then pour in the chicken stock.
4 Simmer briskly until the sauce is thick, 20 - 30 minutes.
For a finer consistency, pass the sauce though a wire-mesh sieve into
a clean saucepan.
5 Stack the basil leaves, roll them up lengthwise, and cut across the
roll very thinly to make a chiffonade.
6 Stir in the basil. Whisk in the butter piece by piece, then season to
taste with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
