Ingredients

10-12 whole tomatoes
1-6 cloves garlic, minced
oil for pan
to taste salt and pepper (optional)
1-2 Tbsp tomato paste (optional)
1 shake chili pepper
1/2 lb ground meat (optional)
1-2 carrots, diced (optional)
1 stalk celery, diced
2-4 onions, diced (optional)

Directions

Peel, seed and core tomatoes by placing them in a pot of boiling water until the skins split. Then allow to cool and pull off skin. Slice open and remove seeds; remove tough core.

In a stock pot put garlic (and carrot and celery and onion, if using) and fry for a minute trying not to brown. Add chili and cook for about 30 seconds. Doing this with the chili will make it more spicy than usual. Add tomatoes, bring to a simmer.

Stir in tomato paste if using.

If adding the meat, brown it in another pan (no oil needed). Add to simmering tomatoes.

Once all ingredients are in the pot add salt and pepper to taste.

Allow sauce to simmer until tomatoes become "saucy".

Notes

If you run out of patience with the tomatoes you can put them in a blender/food processor and puree. You can also use a potato masher, food ricer, food mill, whatever to help things along.

Substitutions

Be sure to verify the safety of canned tomato paste if using.
