Wonderful Tomato Sauce

This is too easy to be real. You can use this sauce in a plethora of other recipes eg the base sauce for your bolognaise, a pizza sauce, savoury quiche base mixes and I have also used this in my bread making experiments for flavoured breads. Marvellous.

Ingredients: A little olive oil, a crushed clove of garlic, 1-2 onions peeled and diced; 1-2 cans of tomatoes, diced or whole; salt and pepper and if you are as clever as me, some home-grown oregano, basil and thyme picked fresh from the garden......bliss!

Method: Very easy. Pour a little oil into moderately warm pan and add onions and garlic and cook til onion is just translucent. Add tinned toms and stir well. Now, people will tell you not to cut the basil with a knife as this bruises it and it loses some of it's flavour, so, just to please them, I rip the basil up with my fingers, followed by tearing the thyme leaves off the gorgeously fine stems and the same with the oregano. There is no need to use the knife here as the leaves are small enough. Mix well and add salt and pepper to taste.
