Marcella Hazan’s Famous Tomato Sauce

• porcije: 4 servings

Sastojci

• 1 (28-ounce) can whole San Mariano tomatoes, no salt or herbs added (highest quality) or 2lbs of ripe tomatoes blanched peeled and cored

• 70g unsalted butter (5 tbsp)

• 1 small white or yellow onion, peeled and cut in half

• 1 tsp Kosher salt and more to taste

Upute

1. Roughly chop the tomatoes. Cut onion in half and peel.

2. Place tomatoes in a medium saucepan; add onion, and stir in butter and salt. Cook over medium-low, uncovered, stirring occasionally and mashing any large pieces of tomato using the back of a wooden spoon, until fat floats free from the tomatoes and is incorporated into the sauce as it slightly thickens, 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes. Season with additional salt to taste. Remove and discard onion.

3. Options with discarded onion.

• Blend the sauce with the onion (creates a smooth sauce).

• Rougly dice it and add it back into the sauce.

• Dice and serve on top of toasted bread.

• Serve it with other roasted vegetables

• Make onion butter.

• Eat it plain. Just don’t throw it away! It’s delicious!
