The orignal recipe called for 1/3 cup of olive oil which I reduced to 1 tbsp as well as fresh thyme and marjoram, which I switched to chives and parsley. I used roma tomatoes and blended the sauce for a consistent texture. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 cup onion, finely chopped |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
2 bay leaves |
11 roma tomatoes, chopped (should yield about 6 cups) |
salt (to taste) |
pepper (to taste) |
2 tablespoons fresh parsley |
2 tablespoons fresh chives |
2 tablespoons tomato paste |
Directions:
1. Heat olive oil in pan and saute onions until translucent, about 7 minutes.
2. Add garlic and saute for another 2 minutes.
3. Add the onion/garlic mixture into crock pot along with bay leaves, tomatoes, salt and peper to taste.
4. Cook in crock pot on high for 90 min and reduce to low for 30 minute.
5. Remove bay leaves.
6. Blend tomatoes with hand blender - this step is optional, if you like a chunky sauce
7. Add fresh herbs of your liking and stir in tomato paste.
