By: Miriam Borys

Servings: 8 - 10

Ingredients:

3 tbsp. olive oil
4 hot Italian chorizo sausages
½ large onion
1 small tomato
1-2 large beefsteak tomatoes
½- ¾   cup sundried tomatoes
2 tbsp. dried or fresh thyme
680ml water (rinse out tomato jar) – add enough water to thin down the sauce to your           liking. Without the water this sauce is very thick and sooooooo delicious!

Sauté meat, diced onion and small diced tomato.

Add diced beefsteak tomatoes.

Add tomato sauce, red wine, sundried tomatoes, water and thyme.

Bring to a boil and reduce heat and simmer for 1 ½ hours.

Puree with a blender and continue to simmer with another cup of red wine, and water to thin the sauce down to your liking.

Serve over pasta of your choice.
