Tomato Sauce for Pizza

Serves 6

Ingredients

One kilo good ripe Roma tomatoes
Salt and pepper,
45 ml olive oil
3 cloves of garlic, chopped
Oregano. (Basil leaves are better added later, on top of pizza)

Method

Peel tomatoes, remove all the seeds, slice and let excess water drain out in a colander for about 2 hours. In summer you shouldn't need to drain because they should be holding less water.

Combine tomatoes, salt and pepper, olive oil, garlic, oregano. Cook mixture quickly for a couple of minutes and leave aside. In winter add a little bit of sugar to the tomato mix.

It is best to half cook the pizza dough in the oven, then pull out and put on the sauce. Because if you put this sauce on top of the raw pizza dough, it will become soggy
