Ingredients
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 6 to 10 large cloves garlic peeled
- 10.5 lbs tomatoes (6 28-oz cans) diced or whole
- 2 teaspoons salt
Instructions
- Open cans of tomatoes and, using an immersion blender, purée until smooth.
- Finely chop garlic, or pulse it in a mini-food processor until quite small.
- Heat a large, heavy bottomed pot over medium heat and add olive oil. When olive oil is hot, add garlic and stir continuously for a minute or two, taking care not to let the garlic brown.
- Add about a 1/2 a cup of tomato purée to the pot and stir it into the garlic mixture. Let it cook for a minute and the olive oil will take on a golden colour. This will give the sauce a boost of flavour as the tomato sauce caramelizes in the garlic oil.
- Add remaining tomato purée and salt. Stir well. Simmer on medium low heat for at least 4 hours. Sauce will thicken. Continue cooking if you want a thicker sauce.
- Taste and adjust salt, if desired. Remember that you will be adding salt to most recipes that you will be using this base tomato sauce for.
- Remove from heat. Cool completely, then portion into Zip-lock bags or containers and freeze.
