Recipe Summary Papa's Tomato Sauce

My father's recipe for tomato sauce that the entire extended family loved.

Ingredients | Turkish Tomato Sauce Recipe

¼ cup olive oil

1 cup chopped red onion

½ cup chopped fresh parsley

1 ½ tablespoons dried basil

2 cloves garlic, chopped

½ pound pork neck bones

½ pound beef neck bones

2 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes

1 ¾ tablespoons salt

1 tablespoon dried oregano

2 bay leaves

1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste

Directions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, parsley, basil, and garlic; cook and stir until onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Add pork and beef neck bones; cook and stir until browned, 7 to 10 minutes.

Stir crushed tomatoes slowly into the onion mixture; mix in salt, oregano, and bay leaves. Cook, covered, until flavors combine, about 2 1/2 hours. Stir in tomato paste; simmer uncovered until sauce thickens, about 2 hours.

For a thicker sauce, substitute 1 can crushed tomatoes and 1 large can of tomato puree for the 2 cans crushed tomatoes.

If doubling recipe, don't double bay leaves, just use 3.

If sauce is too thick, add water. If tomatoes are sour or acidic, add more basil and a couple of large pinches of baking soda toward the end of cooking.
