This is the perfect tomato sauce recipe to make with that extra pint of cherry tomatoes in your CSA box that’s sitting on your counter. Use it to dress a simple pasta, or spoon it over a crispy chicken paillard.

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup onion, minced
  • 1/4 cup sherry vinegar
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, and swirl in olive oil. Add onion, and sauté 3-5 minutes, until golden brown. Pour in vinegar, and scrape up any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan.
  • When liquid is almost gone, add tomatoes, broth, tomato paste and oregano. Cook for 4-5 minutes, swirling often. If tomatoes have not burst, press on them gently with a spatula to burst them, and cook for another minute. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Makes 1-1/2 cups tomato sauce.
