Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 shallots
  • 40 g carrot(s)
  • 40 g celery
  • 12 tomatoes, ripe
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 0.4 liters of tomato juice, alternatively 1 can of tomatoes
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 sprigs of thyme
  • 2 bay leaves

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 40 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 10 minutes

Heat the oil, then sauté the finely diced vegetables (I always use a food processor) and the spices. Then add the tomato paste, tomatoes, juice, and herbs, and season. Let the whole thing simmer for at least 30 minutes; the longer the better. Strain the sauce. In the summer, I always make plenty of sauce and fill it into twist-off jars, preserve them, and have homemade tomato sauce all year round.
