Ingredients
- 1kg tomatoes

Instructions
THERMOMIX METHOD
Place all ingredients into mixing bowl and blend 30 sec / speed 10. Scrape down sides of bowl.
Add 1/2 cup of water and cook 30 min / Varoma / speed 1 with MC removed and TM basket on mixing bowl lid.
Check the consistency of your sauce and for a thicker sauce cook a further 30 min / Varoma / speed 1 with MC removed and TM basket on mixing bowl lid. If you choose to cook this extra 30 mins just regularly check your sauce to make sure the base isn’t burning. (the juiciness of your tomatoes will affect how thick your sauce gets)
NON THERMOMIX METHOD
Use a food processor to blitz all the ingredients, you may need to do in batches.
Place into a large pot on the stove with 1/2 cup of water and simmer gently with a lid on for up to 90 mins, stirring every 10 mins or so and checking consistency.
Notes
Store sauce in a sealed container in the fridge – it’ll keep for up to a week. Portion and freeze the rest for up to 3 months.
