Method
- Empty tomatoes into a small sauce pan on the stove.
- Next, add 1 teaspoon of garlic and onion powders each and a tablespoon of oregano and basil each.
- Mix in our generous pinch of sugar.
- I save the salt and peppering for last, after I blend the ingredients.
- Now grab your immersion blender or your regular blender. Blend up the tomato chunks as fine as you can. I prefer the immersion blender because I can blend while it's still cooking.
- Sample your sauce. If it needs something more, add it. If it still tastes "tomatoe-y" or acidic, add another pinch of sugar.
- Cook on the stove for about 5 minutes or until boiling starts. Then turn off eye and use sauce.
Notes
Of course the longer you allow the sauce to simmer, the more flavorful it'll be as the herbs have time to release their oils and flavor into the sauce. However, if you're in a pinch to make sauce like I was, you dump, blend, heat up, then use the sauce.
