ingredients
1/4 cup olive oil
2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped
1 can (35 ounce size) Italian-style tomatoes
1/3 cup Italian tomato paste
1 cup water
1/2 cup dry red wine
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
4 teaspoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 large bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon crushed dried basil leaves
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper pods
directions
Heat olive oil in a large saucepan. Add sliced onions and saute them over medium heat about 2 minutes. Add garlic and stir, separating onion slices for about 4 minutes longer, until onions are soft, but not browned.
Add parsley, tomatoes (including all their liquid), tomato paste and all other ingredients. Break up any whole tomatoes with a spoon.
Bring sauce to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered about 1 1/2 hours. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Adjust seasoning to taste. If the sauce is too sour, add a dash of sugar, as acidity varies depending on the type of vinegar used.

It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
