Description

Once you make this simple to make sauce the first time, you will never go back to store bought sauce again. The fire roasted tomatoes add a subtle smokey flavor that is simply perfect. Serve on on kind of pasta, or even on baked chicken or fish.

Ingredients

• 10 lb. Roma tomatoes
• ¼ c. olive oil
• 3 onions, diced
• 10 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 T. salt
• 3 t. sugar
• 25 leaves from 1 bunch fresh basil, chopped
• 1 t. black pepper
• 2 bay leaves

Steps

1. Preheat an outdoor gas grill to high heat.
2. Roast tomatoes on the grill until skins begin to blacken and burst, turning so all sides get cooked. Transfer tomatoes to a baking sheet to cool. Remove/discard the peels and any inedible parts.
3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil; saute onion for about 5 minutes. Add in minced garlic; saute for 1 minute.
