Ingredients

  • • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • • 1 large Spanish onion, coarsely chopped
  • • 5 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
  • • 3 cups canned plum tomatoes and juices, pureed
  • • 1 cup water
  • • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • • 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • • 2 tablespoon honey

Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan. Add the onions and cook until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and water, bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for an additional 30 to 40 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally.
Transfer the mixture to a food processor and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour into a bowl and allow to cool at room temperature. Sauce will keep for 1 week in the refrigerator stored in a tightly sealed container.
