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.

Time 40m

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

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.
