Recipe

Ingredients

Method
Chop your onions and garlic fairly fine. Fry the onions in your extra virgin olive oil until they are softened and glassy. Add the tomatoes and garlic then simmer slowly until it has thickened. For an extra rich flavour, try using roasted tomatoes.
Season the sauce with your dried oregano, a little sugar and salt and pepper to your taste.
When your sauce is ready, dollop it on your pizza base and swirl it around with the back of a spoon.
