PREPARATION:

In a heavy 4 qt. pot, heat the EVOO and saute the red onion until well caramelized (about 7 minutes). Add garlic and saute for another 2 to 3 minutes. Add the whole jar of Canned Roma Tomatoes and mix well. Crush the tomatoes with a potato masher or wooden spoon. Add 1/2 cup warm water, the oregano and sea salt. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
