How to make... Basic Tomato Sauce!

hi guys one of the first things i ever learned to make in the kitchen was a basic tomato sauce it can be used for lots of things like meatballs lasagna or pizza so it starts off by chopping up some onion i'm gonna get a little bit of olive oil into a nice hot frying pan and then just crack open two garlic cloves the garlic cloves i'm not gonna chop up but i'm just gonna take off the bottoms and then just give it a smack with the back of a knife i'm gonna put them in hole like this so they impart that wonderful flavor but you don't get that really intense garlic taste in there that's a little tip i got from the nonas in itali oh italy italy italy perfect onions in the pan get those two garlic cloves in there as well and you just want to fry those onions until they're nice soft and tender so i'm going to season right now with a little bit of sea salt and black pepper once you've got a nice tender onion it's time to get in there with two tins of chopped tomatoes and throw them in there they will sizzle they will bubble but stick with it and now just give that a quick stir the next little bit of liquid i'm gonna add in is some red wine so before i add that in put a little bit in each one of those cans and then swirl it around and this will ensure you get all that lovely tomato out of the can not a single drop wasted and if you don't want to add red wine in here you can just add a little bit of vegetable stock now to season this up i've got a little bit of oregano and a little bit of tabasco so about a teaspoon of dried oregano or oregano whatever way you say it and then a little splash of tabasco mix it all up and let it simmer away my tomato sauce has reduced right down so i'm going to give it a quick taste yep really good really intense nice bit of spice from the tabasco in there lovely flavor from that oregano and now this is a basic tomato sauce which can be used for a whole host of things you can check out other recipes that i've done that use a tomato sauce by clicking some of the links below make sure to subscribe to this channel for lots more great basic tips and of course leave a comment below and we'll see you soon bye you
