      Title: GREEK TOMATO SAUCE WITH OLIVE OIL
 Categories: Greek, Sauces
      Yield: 1 servings
 
      2 tb Olive oil
      1 sm Onion; chopped
      2    Garlic cloves; minced
      2 lb Fresh tomatoes*
      1 ts Granulated sugar
    1/4 c  Red wine
           Salt & freshly ground pepper
      1    Stick cinnamon (optional)
      2    Sprigs parsley; chopped
      1    Sprig fresh basil; chopped
 
  *Note: Tomatoes should be peeled and chopped if fresh,
  or you may substitute 1 two-and-one-half pound can
  plum tomatoes, chopped. Heat the oil in a heavy
  saucepan, stir in the onions, and cook gently until
  transparent.  Add the garlic, tomatoes, sugar, wine,
  salt and pepper, and cinnamon, if desired.  Taste for
  seasoning, then allow the sauce to simmer gently for
  30 minutes.  Remove the cinnamon stick before serving
  hot. NOTE: For a thicker sauce, add 1/4 cup tomato
  paste diluted with 1/4 cup water when adding the
  tomatoes.  For a smoother consistency, the sauce may
  be strained and seeds discarded just before the
  parsley and basil are added.
