KEZZA'S CHUNKY PIZZA SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan, on medium heat.
• Saute the onions and garlic until translucent, but do not allow to burn or brown.
• Add the herbs and saute for 1 minute.
• Add the tomatoes and tomato paste (and salt & pepper to taste) and simmer for 60 minutes on low heat (I use 2/6) until reduced to a thick sauce. I taste this every 10 minutes and sometimes add pepper if required.
• Cool, and use on your favourite pizza bases. Can be used on 4 x medium bases (if you like a lot of sauce), or 6 bases if you like a thinner covering. You can also puree this with a Bamix if chunky sauce isn't your thing (plus, it goes further if you puree it).
