Simple Tomato Sauce.

Ok, so we've moved house and just bought a new Camera and wanted to test out both the camera and kitchen, so here's a really simple, yet also very yummy recipe that we do all the time. This sauce can be used for pretty much anything, it's awesome as a pizza sauce, you can add abit of cream and sage to it and use it as a sauce for chicken or you can use it as a pasta sauce, which is what we ended up doing this time.

Ingredients:

2 x cans tomato (or 1kg fresh)

one onion

one garlic clove (optional)

one knob of butter

pinch of salt and sugar.

Method:

Ok, if you're using fresh tomatoes, put them in a pot with a little bit of water and cook them for about 5-10 minutes just to soften them up abit. Next, put tins or fresh tomato into a blender or food processor and blitz them until they're completely smooth and then pour into a saucepan.

Now, slice the onion in half and peel it, and place both halves into the saucepan and add the garlic clove if using.

Simmer down for half an hour to 45 minutes, you'll see the oil just start to separate from the tomatoes, that's when it's ready. Remove the onion and garlic, stir in your knob of butter and season with salt and sugar.

And that's it! So easy! You'll be suprised how damn good this tastes! You can use it as is or add extras to it to embellish it. In this case, we added some fried sliced chorizo, shredded silverbeet, capers and of course Parmesan.
