Fresh Italian tomato sauce with thyme and basil https://www.metro.ca/userfiles/image/recipes/sauce-tomates-12174.jpg PT1H00M PT2H00M PT3H00M
Blanch the tomatoes. Start by drawing a cross on top of each tomato and removing the core using a knife. In a very large pot of salted, boiling water, plunge tomatoes (in several separate sequences) for about 20-30 seconds depending on their degree of ripeness. The skins should come off effortlessly. Once tomatoes have been scalded, peel them. Halve each tomato lengthwise. Working over a bowl to catch juices and using your fingers, remove excess water and seeds.In another large bowl, set aside tomato flesh; pour juices together with seeds in an adequately sized pot. Add brown sugar and vinegar, and then season lightly. Simmer over low heat for about 1 hour. With a ladle, strain the tomato coulis using a fine strainer to catch as much tomato as possible without any seeds. Set aside. Finely chop onions. In a very large baking sheet with a high edge (or a very big pot), place all the olive oil and onions. Bake at 175 °C (350 °F) (or on the stove if you’re using a pot) until onions become translucent.Finely chop onions.
