Best 12 Basic Spicy Tomato Sauce Recipes

BASIC TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Peel and finely chop the garlic, then gently fry in a thick-bottomed pan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Crumble in the chilli, add the oregano and tomatoes.
• Mix gently, but do not break up the tomatoes as this will release the pips, which will make the sauce slightly bitter - by leaving the tomatoes whole and letting the mixture cook slowly you'll get a nice sweet sauce. (You can remove the pips from the tomatoes if you want, but I don't bother.) Bring to the boil and simmer gently for 1 hour.
• Add the vinegar to the pan, then stir and chop up the tomatoes in the sauce.
• Pick the basil or marjoram and roughly chop, then add to the pan.
• Season well to taste with sea salt and black pepper, and finish with 2-3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.
