Killer Marinara Sauce
Ingredients
- 1/4 Cup olive oil extra virgin
- 6 Peeled Vine Ripened Tomatoes
- 5 Cloves garlic diced finely
- 3 leaves Basil diced
- 1 small Onion diced finely
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste

Instructions
- Take your tomatoes and steam them for 10-15 minutes. This is to release the skin from the tomatoes. Peel the tomatoes and set aside.
- Heat up the oil and saute the onion for about 5-6 minutes on medium heat. Add the Basil, Garlic, and Spices and add the tomatoes one by one smashing them with a potato masher or your hands, whichever you prefer.
