 SAUCE TOMATE [Tomato Sauce]
This good basic tomato sauce is served just as it is, or may be flavored with herbs or combined with other sauces whenever you wish a tomato flavoring. It is at its best with fresh tomatoes, but canned tomatoes or canned tomato purée will also produce a good sauce. You will notice, during its simmering, that it really should cook for about an hour and a half to develop its full flavor.

Instructions
  1. Cook the vegetables and the ham or bacon slowly in the butter and oil for 10 minutes without letting them brown.
  2. Blend the flour into the ham and vegetables, and cook slowly for 3 minutes, stirring.
  3. Off heat, beat in the stock or bouillon.
  4. Stir in the tomatoes, salt, and sugar. Add the garlic and herbs. Simmer for 1½ to 2 hours, skimming occasionally, and adding water if sauce reduces and thickens too much. You should end up with about 2½ cups of rich, fairly thick sauce.
  5. Strain, pressing juice out of ingredients. Correct seasoning. Stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of tomato paste if you feel the sauce lacks color, and simmer again for 5 minutes.
  6. (*) If not used immediately, film surface with stock or a few drops of oil. May be refrigerated or frozen.
