Since I am in the middle of an insanely busy (3 DAY!) work week, there are no fancy progression pictures - I hope that you can forgive me, I know how much you all appreciate my iphone photography ;)
Carmelized Onion & Mushroom Tomato Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 medium sized onion
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 1 portobello mushroom
- 1 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes
- 2 TBSP balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 tsp oregano
- 1/4 tsp thyme
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Sweat chopped onions for about 15 minutes in 1 TBSP EVOO (sweating = onions & oil in a saucepan over med/low heat with lid on)
- Take lid off - turn up the heat! (med/high) and stir around another 15 minutes, until the onion is brownish but not burnt
- Add chopped garlic & mushroom to the pan for about 10 minutes, until they become nice & soft
- Add tomatoes, spices & balsamic (gives it a nice tangy/sweet taste)
- Simmer for 20-30 minutes or longer, the longer you simmer the better it tastes!
- Serve over your fave pasta :)
Peas & Love,
