Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients in a large saucepan and bring to the boil, stirring.

  2. Simmer for 2-3 hours, partly covered and stirring from time to time.

  3. Watch the video above in the post to see the consistency of the tomato sauce once cooked. If the sauce hasn't achieved the desired consistency, continue to simmer uncovered until it reaches the preferred consistency.

  4. Strain half of the mixture through a coarse sieve into a bowl, and then the other half. Use a spoon to push sauce through the sieve and extract as much liquid as possible. Discard solids.

  5. Alternatively, blend the cooked sauce in a food processor or chopper (but keep in mind the sauce will have a spicier kick).

Me ★ 5.0/5

Made this this morning with the original recipe (no onion). It’s delicious with just a hint of warmth from the cayenne. Will be making a lot more of this in the future

Phillip Wotherspoon ★ 5.0/5

the best tomato sauce ever but i left out the cloves too overpowering in the first batch i made

Carolyn ★ 5.0/5

Libby would it be wise to make this in the slow cooker?

Geoff ★ 5.0/5

Wow! I just built this as per your recipe except I used the last 1.6kg of my cherry tomatoes from the garden. Unbelievable! I took the easy way with the stick blender, but the consistency was great. Thank you.

Hi Libby
Could you use a stick blender in place of food processor

Did you make this recipe?
