     Title: Sauce Tomate
Categories: Pork, Vegetables, Beef, Herbs
     Yield: 7 Cups

 1 1/2 oz Salt pork; fine chopped
     2 tb Unsalted butter
     1 sm Carrot; peeled,
          - coarse chopped
   1/2 md Onion; coarse chopped
     1    Bay leaf
     1    Sprig thyme
     3 tb A-P flour
 2 1/2 lb Fresh tomatoes;
          - coarse chopped -OR-
    56 oz Crushed tomatoes (2 cans)
     2 c  Veal or beef stock
     1 cl Garlic; crushed
     1 pn Sugar
          Salt & fresh ground pepper

 Set the oven @ 350 F/175 C.

 To a medium, wide pot over medium heat, add the salt
 pork and butter and cook, stirring occasionally, until
 the fat begins to render 2-3 minutes. Add the carrots,
 onion, bay leaf, and thyme, and cook, stirring
 regularly, until the onions are translucent, about 5
 minutes. Stir in the flour and continue cooking,
 stirring frequently, until the flour lightly browns,
 about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and stock, then
 bring to a boil. Add the garlic and sugar, season
 lightly with salt and black pepper, then transfer to the
 oven and cook until the vegetables are very soft and the
 sauce is thickened and concentrated, about 90 minutes.

 Remove the sauce from the oven, and remove and discard
 the bay leaf and thyme. Cool slightly then either force
 the sauce through a fine mesh strainer or blend with an
 immersion blender until smooth. Use immediately, or
 transfer to a heatproof container, cover the surface
 with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
