Red Sauce- Greek image

This is a standard red sauce which can be used in a lot of Greek dishes. You can freeze it in portions for later and I like to fill ice-cube trays too because sometimes I only need a smaller amount.If you like thick sauce leave it the way it is but I prefer to put it in the blender after it's cooled a little for a nice smooth...
