Homemade Pizza/Pasta Sauce

Ingredients:

Extra virgin olive oil           -4 tblspoon
Shallots                                -2 finely chopped
Garlic                                   -5 clove, crushed
Chopped tomatoes               -1 tin
Oregano                               -1 teaspoon
Tomato puree                      -2 tblspoon
Italian Seasoning                 -2 tblspoon

Method:

Heat oil in a saucepan. Add the shallots and sweat down for about 5 minutes.
Now add the garlic cloves and cook for another minute.
Now add the rest of the ingredients. Bring to the boil and simmer on low flame for an hour or until the sauce is thickened.
Now let the sauce cool down.
I blended half of it to a smooth paste for my pizzas and kept half of it chunky for the pasta.
Give the sauce atleast a day before using to develop the taste.
Store the sauce
in air-tight bottles and into the fridge for 1 week.
