It's that time of year again, when the garden's are overrun with ripe bounties of fresh veggies. My favorite of all is the tomato. Good in sandwiches, salads, sasla and sauces or just sliced up, nothing beats tomatoes. But if you find yourself with too many all at once, you may need a speedy way to get rid of a pile of them. And here it is.
15-20 Ripe, firm tomatoes (Whattever kind) chopped
1/2 white onion, chopped
1 tsp jarred garlic (or more if you like)
2 tbsp fresh basil or 1 tbsp dried
1 tsp oregano
1 tbsp Olive Oil
fresh ground pepper and salt, to taste
**Note** The measurements for the herbs are approximate, as I never measure anything. Test the sauce often and add more as you need**
Spray a little cooking spray in a large sauce pain on medium low heat. Add the olive oil, herbs (do not burn) onions and garlic. Cook the onion for a few minutes, and then add the tomatoes reducing the heat to lowish. Cook, stirring often and making sure it doesn't burn, for about 15-20 minutes or so.
Serve hot with pasta, or cooled with bagel chips or use it as a bruschetta.
