              INGREDIENTS

                  • 1kg gourmet tomatoes
                  • 40mL (2 tablespoons) extra virgin olive oil
                  • 1 large onion, chopped
                  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed

                  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves

                                    METHOD

                                        1. Blanch tomatoes simply score a cross into the base of each tomato. Place in a large bowl, pour over enough boiling water to cover and set aside for 1 minute. Drain. Then Peel the skin back from each tomato.
                                        2. Cut each tomato in half, discard the tomato liquid and seeds and coarsely chop the flesh.
                                        3. Heat the oil in a large pan, over low heat. Add the onion and fry for 5 minutes until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for a further minute,
                                        4. Add the chopped tomatoes & tomato paste. Increase the heat to high and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
                                        5. Season sauce with salt and pepper. Set aside to cool slightly,
                                        6. Blend sauce to a smooth consistency. Stir in the chopped basil leaves.
                                        7. Cool completely then spread about 1 cup of sauce over your pizza base
                                        8. Sauce can be refrigerated for up to five days.
