Makes 4 Cups
Ingredients:
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 spanish onion, cut into 1/4 inch dice
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
1/2 medium carrot, finely shredded
2 (28 ounce) cans whole tomatoes
salt
Directions:
1. In a 3 quart saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until soft and light golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the thyme and carrot and cook until the carrot is quite soft, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the tomatoes, with their juice, and bring to a boil, stirring often. Lower the heat and simmer until as thick as hot cereal, about 30 minutes. Season with salt. The sauce can be refrigerated for up to 1 week or frozen for 6 months.
