Ingredients

1.5 onions
very finely diced
2 cloves Garlic
chopped very finely
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
5 tins whole peeled tomatoes
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1.5 cups Chicken Stock
5 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 handful basil leaves
shredded with sharp knife, (chiffonade)
1 handful oregano
fresh, chopped

Directions

Having created many recipes for basic pizza sauce over the years, this one is by far the one that garners the most compliments. As such, I have stopped tweaking and changing the recipe and use this one 99% of the time.

Note: This homemade pizza sauce recipe makes enough for approx 10 medium-large pizzas.

How to Make the Pizza Sauce

Add 3 tablespoons of olive oil to a medium sized heavy based pot
Saute the onion on low heat for 15 minutes
Add the garlic, saute a further 15 minutes, stirring occasionally
Once the garlic and onion have almost melted into the oil, add the tomatoes & paste
Use the stock to rinse out the cans
Bring to the boil and reduce to simmer for 50-60 minutes, stir occasionally during this period. Try not to break the tomatoes.
Add the vinegar, herbs and remaining olive oil, stir well.
Break up the tomatoes as best you can now.
Simmer a further 10-15 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning.

This homemade pizza sauce recipe is best combined with our famous New York-style pizza dough recipe supplied by Chef Paul Suplee.
