Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup large onion, cut in 1/4 inch dice
  • 4 cup garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, or 1 tablespoon dried
  • 1/2 tablespoon medium carrot, finely grated (preferably carrots with tops, which can be left unpeeled)

Preparation

Baking Directions:

In a 3-quart saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat, add the onion and garlic and cook until soft and light golden brown, 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the thyme and carrot and cook 5 minutes more, until the carrot is quite soft.

Add the tomatoes and juice and bring to a boil, stirring often.

Reduce the heat and simmer for about 30 minutes.

Taste and adjust seasoning.
