RUSTIC TOMATO SAUCE
Makes about 8 cups (2 L)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 onion (8 ounces [240 g]), peeled and
cut into ½-inch (1.25 cm) pieces
2 carrots (4 ounces [120 g] each), peeled
and cut into ½-inch (1.25 cm) pieces
2 ribs celery, trimmed and cut into ½-inch
(1.25 cm) pieces
4 cloves garlic, peeled
1 teaspoon (5 ml) dried oregano
1 teaspoon (5 ml) dried basil
4 roasted red bell peppers, cut into 1-inch

2 tablespoons (30 ml) tomato paste
3 15-ounce (445 g) cans recipe-ready
diced tomatoes with juice
½ teaspoon (2 ml) kosher salt
¼ teaspoon (1 ml) freshly ground black
pepper
In a 3½-quart (3.3 L) saucepan, heat the olive oil
over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery,
garlic, oregano and basil. Cover loosely and cook
until the vegetables are softened, 6 to 8 minutes.
Stir in the roasted red peppers, wine, tomato paste,
and tomatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat
and simmer for 35 to 40 minutes, loosely covered.
Uncover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes longer to
thicken. Turn off heat and let sit 5 minutes.
Strain the solids from the liquids, and return the
liquid to the saucepan. Place the solids in the
blender jar with ½ cup (125 ml) of the cooking
liquid. Cover the blender jar. Press On and Pulse.
Pulse 10 times to chop. Use a plastic spatula to
scrape the sides of the blender jar. Blend on high
for 30 to 40 seconds, until smooth, and press Off.
Return the puréed tomato mixture to the liquid in
the saucepan and reheat gently over medium low
heat. Add salt and pepper.
Serve immediately or keep in refrigerator for up to
5 days.
