Rich Pizza Sauce Recipe

Ingredients

1 28 oz canned tomatoes, diced

3 tbl demi glace (I use 1.5 oz pkg of Demi Glace Gold or homemade)

1/2 c red wine

1 clove minced garlic

Olive oil for sauteeing

fresh basil chiffonade, or whole leaves

salt to taste

1/4 tsp oregano

Preparation

Saute garlic in olive oil just to soften in wide shallow saute pan.

Cook tomatoes and wine to evaporate liquids. Using a hand blender, puree. Add demi glace to soften, and oregano. Salt to taste. Stir in basil if using chiffonade.

Spread evenly across pizza dough. If using whole leaf basil, distribute leaves evenly.

Add other ingredients sparingly because this rich sauce is able to stand on its own. Marvelous with a smoky grilled pizza.
