How to Make Tomato Sauce Matt Preston

  1. Roughly chop 2 large onions.
  2. Roughly chop 2 kg ripe tomatoes. Reserve the seeds and juice.
  3. In a wide-mouthed, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the chopped onions, tomatoes, reserved juice and seeds, 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp dried basil, 1 tsp salt, and ½ tsp black pepper.
  4. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook uncovered for 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are soft and have broken down.
  5. Stir in 1 tbsp sugar and 2 tbsp red wine vinegar. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency (approximately 15-20 minutes). To test, spoon a dollop onto a plate; if only a little liquid seeps out, it's ready.
  6. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper.
  7. Pass the sauce through a coarse-mesh sieve to remove skins and seeds. Use a ladle to gently press the sauce through the sieve.
  8. Collect the sauce in a clean, sterilized bowl or jug.
  9. Fill sterilized bottles, seal tightly, and store in the refrigerator or freeze for longer storage.
