Pomodoro (al Forno’s Tomato Sauce)

Total Time: 35 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 1 cup dry wine
• 1 cup homemade chicken stock
• 5 cups chopped canned tomatoes, with their juices

Recipe

• 1 heat the olive oil, garlic, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring often.
• 2 keep a close watch here and adjust the heat as necessary because you want the garlic to slowly turn from opaque to slightly translucent golden without a hint of browning.
• 3 as soon as the garlic is golden, immediately add the wine and stock—be careful not to burn yourself as the oil has a tendency to splatter.
• 4 bring to a boil, decrease heat, and simmer until the garlic is soft and has taken on a nutty color, and the liquid has reduced to about 1 cup.
• 5 add the tomatoes, bring to a boil, decrease the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
