CHUNKY PIZZA SAUCE

Chunky Pizza Sauce image

I like a thick, chunky pizza sauce with more flavors than just tomato. I couldn't find a recipe like this, so I combined bits from two or three others and made my own.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 small red bell peppers or 1 small green bell pepper, finely chopped
5 cloves garlic, pressed
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1/3 cup dry red wine
1 tablespoon dried Italian herb seasoning (I like McCormick's Italian Seasoning blend, but you can use any combination of dried herbs like marj)
1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon fennel seed, crushed
2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
black pepper
2 teaspoons brown sugar

Steps:

Heat oil in a dutch oven.
Saute onions, peppers and garlic, stirring often, until soft.
Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer gently, uncovered, for 20 minutes, stirring often.
Makes about 4 cups (enough for two 15" pizzas).
I usually make one pizza and freeze the other half for next time.

HOMEMADE PIZZA SAUCE

Homemade Pizza Sauce image

For years, I had trouble finding a pizza sauce recipe my family liked, so I started making my own. The evening I served it to company and they asked for my recipe, I knew I'd finally got it right! When I prepare my sauce, I usually fix enough for three to four pizzas and freeze it. Feel free to spice up the sauce to suit your own family's tastes. -Cheryl Kravik, Spanaway, Washington
