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.

This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
