1
Wash the tomatoes very well. Cut each one into 4 pieces, keeping the skins and seeds.
2
Peel the onions and chop them coarsely. Mince the garlic.
3
Put a pot of suitable size on the heat. Add the olive oil and the onion. Sauté briefly, without browning.
4
Add the garlic, the cut tomatoes, the salt, the parsley, the green onions and the bay leaves.
5
Cook over medium heat with the pot uncovered. Don't worry about adding water, because the tomatoes release a lot of liquid.
6
Once it has boiled a little, a foam will start to form on the surface. Keep removing it with a fine skimmer or a ladle.
7
After cooking for at least one hour, when the tomatoes have fallen apart, remove from the heat, fish out the herbs (parsley, green onions and bay leaves), and pass everything through a fine sieve or food mill, pressing well.
8
You should obtain a sauce with a beautiful red color.
