Just found this recipe for tomato garlic sauce. Thought it sounded nice. Might try it this week! Would be yummy with a rocket, balsamic & parmesan side salad...
1 Large Onion, finely chopped
4 Cloves Garlic, crushed
1 Glass Dry White Wine
400gm Tin Chopped Tomatoes
1 Tbsp Tomato Puree (paste)
1 Tbsp Dried Mixed Herbs
1 tsp Lemon Juice
Salt & Pepper
Heat a little oil in a pan and cook the onion for a few minutes until softened. Add the crushed garlic and cook for another minute.
Pour in the wine, turn up the heat and reduce the volume by about half. Turn down the heat, add the other ingredients and stir well. Use salt and pepper according to taste.
Turn the heat down to absolute minimum and cook the sauce gently for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
The tomato garlic sauce should now be the right consistency to serve with pasta. If you want to use it as a ketchup or a dip then cook for a few minutes more to make it slightly thicker.
Serve the garlic tomato sauce warm immediately with pasta, or allow to cool then store in the fridge to use as a ketchup or a garlicky tomato dip.
