800 g Ripe tomatoes (chopped or canned)
80 ml Olive oil
6 Garlic cloves (sliced)
1 Bay leaf
to taste Salt and black pepper

Method

Heat olive oil in wide pan or pot. Add sliced onions with pinch of salt. Cook very slowly 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until deeply golden and sweet (patience key).
Add sliced garlic, cook 1 minute. Add chopped tomatoes and bay leaf. Simmer gently 25-35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until reduced to thick sauce consistency.
Remove bay leaf. Season to taste. Use as base for fish, meat, eggs or pasta. Cool completely and refrigerate up to 5 days or freeze in portions.
