How to Make All Purpose Sun Dried Tomato Sauce
- Sauté 1 large onion (finely chopped), 4 cloves garlic (minced), 1-2 red chili peppers (finely chopped), and ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed, drained) in 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat until softened (about 5 minutes).
- Stir in 2 tablespoons tomato paste and 1 teaspoon sugar. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Add 2 (28-ounce) cans crushed tomatoes, 1 cup vegetable or chicken broth, 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste). Bring to a simmer in an uncovered saucepan. Reduce heat to low and cook for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Carefully blend the sauce using an immersion blender or regular blender until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve (optional, for a smoother sauce).
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve warm with your favorite pasta, pizza, or as a base for tomato soup (add a splash of cream for extra richness).
