Greek Tomato Sauce With Olive Oil

Recipe Ingredients

2 tablespoons	30ml	Olive oil
1 tablespoon	15ml	Onion - chopped (small)
2		Garlic cloves - minced
2 lbs	908g / 32oz	Fresh tomatoes*
1 teaspoon	5ml	Granulated sugar
1/4 cup	59ml	Red wine
		Salt and freshly ground pepper
1		Cinnamon - (optional)
2 sections		Parsley - chopped
1 section		Fresh basil - chopped

Recipe Instructions

*Note: Tomatoes should be peeled and chopped if fresh, or you may substitute 1 two-and-one-half pound can plum tomatoes, chopped.

Heat the oil in a heavy saucepan, stir in the onions, and cook gently until transparent. Add the garlic, tomatoes, sugar, wine, salt and pepper, and cinnamon, if desired. Taste for seasoning, then allow the sauce to simmer gently for 30 minutes. Remove the cinnamon stick before serving hot.

NOTE: For a thicker sauce, add 1/4 cup tomato paste diluted with 1/4 cup water when adding the tomatoes. For a smoother consistency, the sauce may be strained and seeds discarded just before the parsley and basil are added.
