Serves 4



1 kg   ripe egg tomatoes, washed and halved lengthways
1   small onion, finely chopped
2 tbsp   extra-virgin olive oil


1 Place tomatoes in a large saucepan and cook, covered, over medium heat for 10 minutes. Using a food mill placed over a large bowl, purée cooked tomatoes and juice, discarding skin and seeds.
2 Heat olive oil in a large saucepan, add onion and cook over medium heat, stirring for 8 minutes or until onion is translucent but not brown.
