METHOD:

water.

The water level should reach a little less than
half of the tomatoes.
3.
Bring them to a boil till the skin can be peeled
off with ease.
4.
Remove them and peel off the skin.
5.
Pass them through a blender to make a puree of
it.
6.
Pass this puree through a sieve to remove out
all the seeds and get smooth juice.
7.
Heat olive oil and add in the garlic.
8.
When it starts to colour a little add in the
onion.
9.
When the onion softens and starts to leave a
little oil, pour in the entire strained out juice.
10.
Bring to boil and simmer till the excess
moisture has evaporated and it has become thick and saucy.
11.
Add the carrot puree and again boil till it
becomes saucy. This puree helps in enhancing the colour of the sauce and also
giving it body and volume.
12.
Season with salt. Add in the oregano, chilli flakes /
chilli pdr, basil and sugar as per your taste.

Use as required in any Italian or Mexican
recipes which ask for the use of tomato sauce.
