Ingredients
  • 2 large onions
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 5 basil leaves, chopped
  • 5 large garden fresh tomatoes, skins removed and tomatoes chopped
  • 1 can tomato sauce (optional-you can add more tomatoes and blend them in a blender. See instructions below, especially for eggplant parmigiana)
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Boil a pot of water and dip tomatoes into water to remove the skins.
  2. In a skillet with olive oil, saute onions until soft and translucent
  3. Add garlic and chopped tomatoes
  4. Add the tomato sauce (Remember this is optional- I do this to make more sauce-see note below)
  5. Stir in the honey
  6. Salt and pepper to taste
  7. Simmer on medium low heat for about 20 minutes
  8. NOTE: If you are using this sauce for my eggplant parmigiana, use the method without the can of tomato sauce. Chop tomatoes, pulse in a blender for a couple of minutes, add to the skillet of onions and other ingredients. Cook on medium-low heat until sauce thickens and turns a deep red.
