Chop the onion and
garlic and fry them during five minutes. Cut the tomatoes in four and
add them to the onions. Fry on medium heat for 15 minutes. Add salt
and pepper to taste. For the best result, push the mixture through a
sieve. If you don't want to do that or are stressed for time, puree
the mixture in the kitchen machine.
Tips
If you fry a red sweet pepper with the tomatoes, the color will
become nice bright red. You can also add thyme, oregano and/or basil.
You can add some red or white wine but then you must let the mixture
cook a little longer. Tomato sauce is an ideal ingredient for pizza,
pasta,
osso bucoand
many sauces like
cocktail sauce.

Chutney comes from the Indian "chatni", which means "strongly
spiced". Normally, it is made out of fruit pieces, vinegar, sugar, peppers
and/or other spices.
Chutney is nice with Indian food but also as a replacement of mustard
with cheese.
Relish is Or less the same as chutney;
the cooking time may be a bit shorter though. Therefore, chutney is
normally softer and the sugar may be caramelized.
