Vodka Tomato Sauce

 

With red wine and Italian sausages. Used up most of the Covid canned tomatoes and all the meat in the freezer. Four cans diced tomato, four cans tomato sauce. Four big links sausage. 2 lbs. ground pork. One big onion, three stalks celery, three cloves garlic. One little bottle Sutter Home wine. Red pepper flakes, bay leaf, oregano, basil, thyme. Dash of cayenne. Tomato paste out of tube and anchovy paste. Large squirt of each. When you cook down the vegetables with all the seasonings, and add the diced tomato, you add vodka and half the red wine, and cook that down for 10-15 minutes. I used 3 tablespoons vodka but that was a lot of sauce. Then you add all the meat, all the cans of tomato sauce, tomato paste, anchovy paste, and simmer for two hours. Freezes well.
