Pizza tomato sauce

Serves:

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion, finely diced
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 2 cups crushed tomatos (or 1 tin of chopped tomatoes)
• 1 tsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp oregano, finely chopped
• Salt and pepper

Method

In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil then add the onion and garlic. Cook stirring over a moderate heat until transluscent.

Add tomato paste and stir through the onions and garlic. Cook for three minutes.

Add the remaing ingredients and stir to combine.

Allow to simmer uncovered over a low heat for 20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally to avoid the sauce sticking to the bottom of the pan.
