Here's a great recipe from someone who unfortunately seldom posts here
anymore:


* Exported from MasterCook *

Harry's Tomato Sauce

Recipe By :Harry Demidivicius, rec.food.cooking
Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories :

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 large carrot -- cut in large chunks
1 stalk celery -- cut in large chunks
1 medium onion -- cut in large chunks
1 clove garlic
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground fennel (Harry's
addition)
28 ounces Italian tomatoes -- crushed
1 cup dry red wine
1/4 cup fresh parsley -- minced

Blend the carrot, garlic, oil and oregano in a food processor until
emulsified.

Empty the tomatoes into a large saucepan on medium heat and mash them. Stir
in the vegetable mixture. The resulting blend should be quite thick and
look reddish with traces of green and yellow visible. When it starts to
bubble, turn down the heat and simmer uncovered for about 90 minutes,
stirring occasionally, until it has reduced and blended into a sauce.

Add in the wine and continue to simmer for a few more minutes. Stir in the
parsley, simmer for 5 more minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings and remove
from heat.

The sauce may now be served over pasta or stored in the refrigerator in
tightly capped 28-ounce jars.

I second that, Dora. I've made Harry's sauce several times and it's
delicious. I also like the fennel seed.

LOL! I know how it happened. I used to post the recipe with a
notation (My Addition). Now it says (Damsel's Addition). Harry has
tried the recipe with the ground fennel and he was sold on it, too.
