KEZZA'S CHUNKY PIZZA SAUCE



Kezza's Chunky Pizza Sauce image

My boyfriend and I had the most fantastic pizza in Italy during our travels, even the takeaway stuff is fantastic. Through trial and error (and expanding waistlines) we think that I've found a good approximation of a home-made pizza sauce we had in Cassino when we went down there for the 60th commemorations last year.

Categories     Sauces

Time 1h10m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon dried oregano
3 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
2 (400 g) cans plum tomatoes, roughly chopped (or, 10 x large plum tomatoes, x's cut into the skin, then plunged into boiling water for 2 minutes,)
4 tablespoons tomato paste
freshly ground salt & pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan, on medium heat.
  • Saute the onions and garlic until translucent, but do not allow to burn or brown.
  • Add the herbs and saute for 1 minute.
  • Add the tomatoes and tomato paste (and salt & pepper to taste) and simmer for 60 minutes on low heat (I use 2/6) until reduced to a thick sauce. I taste this every 10 minutes and sometimes add pepper if required.
  • Cool, and use on your favourite pizza bases. Can be used on 4 x medium bases (if you like a lot of sauce), or 6 bases if you like a thinner covering. You can also puree this with a Bamix if chunky sauce isn't your thing (plus, it goes further if you puree it).

Tips:

  • Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This will give your sauce the best possible flavor. If you can, use tomatoes from your own garden or from a local farmer's market.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. The basic recipe in this article is a great starting point, but you can easily customize it to your own taste. Some popular additions include basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
  • Let the sauce simmer for a long time. This will allow the flavors to develop and deepen. The longer you simmer the sauce, the better it will taste.
  • Use a high-quality olive oil. This will add a rich, flavorful base to your sauce.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too many tomatoes to the pan at once, they will not cook evenly. Cook the tomatoes in batches if necessary.
  • Season the sauce to taste. Once the sauce is cooked, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.

Conclusion:

This chunky tomato sauce is a delicious and versatile recipe that can be used for a variety of dishes, including pizza, pasta, and lasagna. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a chunky tomato sauce that will impress your friends and family.
