1/2 cup extra-virgin oil
4 1/3 cups onions, finely chopped
3/4 tsp dried thyme
3/4 tsp dried rosemary
1/2 dried bay leaf
8 oz pureed fresh tomatoes or canned tomato puree

  • Put the garlic into a tall jar or beaker, then process to a paste using a hand-held blender. Put a saucepan over medium heat and add the oil. Fry the garlic until browned. Meanwhile, process the onion in the blender. Add to the pan with the garlic. Lower the heat, add the herbs, then fry, stirring frequently, until the onion has browned.
