Ingredients
- 4 pounds tomato 1.8 kilograms; vine-ripened
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter unsalted, 15 grams
- 1 onion peeled and finely diced, large
- 5 cloves garlic peeled and minced
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar 12.5 grams
- salt to taste, freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons parsley freshly chopped
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with cold water and place nearby.
- Cut a small "x" into the bottom of each of the tomatoes and gently add them to the water. Cook for 2 minutes, then drain and place the tomatoes in the cold water.
- Once the tomatoes are cool enough to handle, peel off the skins and discard, then squeeze each tomato into a large bowl.
- In a large pot, place the olive oil and butter over medium heat.
- Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned. Stir in the tomatoes and garlic. Season with sugar, salt, and pepper.
- Once bubbling, reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down into a sauce, 45 minutes to 1 hour. If desired, use a potato masher to create a smoother sauce. Season to taste and stir in the parsley.
- Serve warm with pasta, rice, or fries.
