Mary Carmen's delicious sauce recipe
I got this recipe from <a href="http://www.indierocklibrarian.com/">Mary Carmen</a> - it is SO SO good!
Ingredients:
2 cans of whole tomatos
2 cans of crushed tomatos
1 small onion chopped
5 cloves garlic (I use crushed garlic in a jar - with no oil added to it)
1 bay leaf
Puree both cans of whole tomatos, 1 can at a time. (Remember to keep the empty can so you can pour the puree into it)
In a large pot, pour enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom, like maybe a quarter to half an inch. Heat the oil and sautee the onion for a bit and then add the garlic, let it get brown but not really dark. (translation: DON'T BURN IT). Add the crushed and pureed tomatos
Add 1 bay leaf and as much oregano and parsley as you want. Stir it all in, lower the heat and let the sauce cook for about an hour and a half. Voila! It is done
**for extra flavor, before you sautee your onions and garlic, brown the meat (sausage, etc) then add the garlic and onion and continue.
