CHUNKY PIZZA SAUCE

KEZZA'S CHUNKY PIZZA SAUCE
My boyfriend and I had the most fantastic pizza in Italy during our travels, even the takeaway stuff is fantastic. Through trial and error (and expanding waistlines) we think that I've found a good approximation of a home-made pizza sauce we had in Cassino when we went down there for the 60th commemorations last year.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan, on medium heat.
- Saute the onions and garlic until translucent, but do not allow to burn or brown.
- Add the herbs and saute for 1 minute.
- Add the tomatoes and tomato paste (and salt & pepper to taste) and simmer for 60 minutes on low heat (I use 2/6) until reduced to a thick sauce. I taste this every 10 minutes and sometimes add pepper if required.
- Cool, and use on your favourite pizza bases. Can be used on 4 x medium bases (if you like a lot of sauce), or 6 bases if you like a thinner covering. You can also puree this with a Bamix if chunky sauce isn't your thing (plus, it goes further if you puree it).

Steps:
- Cut an "x" in the bottom of each tomato. Fill a large mixing bowl with ice water.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add tomatoes to the boiling water until skins start to curl, about 30 seconds. Remove tomatoes from the boiling water and submerge in the bowl of ice water. When tomatoes have cooled enough to handle, remove from ice water. Remove and discard tomato skins; transfer tomatoes to a blender.
- Blend tomatoes until liquefied, and transfer to a medium saucepan. Add onion, garlic, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer over medium heat until sauce reduces to desired consistency, 60 to 90 minutes.
- Puree sauce with an immersion blender until smooth. Use sauce immediately, or store in the refrigerator overnight to allow flavors to develop.

Tips:
- Choose ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. Use a variety of tomatoes, such as Roma, San Marzano, and cherry tomatoes, for a more complex flavor.
- Roast the tomatoes before simmering them. Roasting the tomatoes concentrates their flavor and gives them a slightly smoky taste.
- Add some garlic and onion for extra flavor. Sauté the garlic and onion in olive oil until they are soft and fragrant before adding the tomatoes.
- Season the sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, and oregano to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as basil, thyme, and red pepper flakes.
- Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Use the sauce on your favorite pizza crust. You can also use it as a pasta sauce or a dipping sauce for breadsticks.
Conclusion:
This chunky tomato sauce is a delicious and versatile recipe that can be used on pizzas, pastas, and breadsticks. It is also a great way to use up ripe tomatoes. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
