Onion in tomato sauce for winter storage
Description
Minimal ingredients — excellent result. This onion in tomato sauce for winter is a wonderful way to make an inexpensive and simple preserve! Since if you prepare it in season, both onions and tomatoes will be cheap. Especially since the quality of the tomatoes here is secondary. On the contrary: the riper and softer they are, the better! So don't hesitate to use "bruised" ones—they'll make a delicious sauce. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
