Ingredients
2 400g cans whole peeled
tomatoes (no salt added_
4 tbs extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tsp dried oregano
½ cup dry red wine
2 medium carrots, cut into 10cm
chunks
¾ tsp salt
½ tsp ground pepper
½ cup chopped fresh basil
1 tsp sugar (optional)
Method
1. Drain the liquid from 1 can of
tomatoes (discard or reserve for
another use). Transfer the
tomatoes to a medium bowl.
Pour the second can of
tomatoes (and their juices) into
the bowl and break the
tomatoes into chunks with a
spatula or by hand.
2. Heat 2 tbs oil in a pressure
cooker using sauté mode. Add
onion, garlic and oregano. Cook,
stirring until slightly softened
and fragrant, for about 2
minutes.
3. Add wine and bring to a boil.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until
the wine has mostly
evaporated. Turn off the heat.
4. Stir in the tomatoes, carrots,
salt and pepper. Close and lock
the lid. Cook at high pressure for
20 minutes.
5. Release the pressure. Remove
the carrots. Puree the sauce to
the desired consistency using
an immersion blender or let cool
slightly and puree (in batches) in
a food processor or blender (use
caution when pureeing hot
liquids). Return to the pot, if
necessary and stir in basil, the
remaining 2 tbs oil and sugar (if
using).
