Ingredients
- 3 - 4 beef bones with marrow
- 3 tablespoons olive oil or beef tallow
- 1 cup onion chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 - 3 chicken feet optional
- 2 quarts home canned tomatoes strained through a food mill
- 7 ounces organic tomato paste
- 3 tablespoons dried oregano
- 3 tablespoons dried basil
- 3 tablespoons dried parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- pepper to taste
Instructions
- Roast the beef bones in a 350°F oven for 45–60 minutes.
- While the bones are roasting, sauté the chopped onion in olive oil or tallow over low heat. When the onion begins to become translucent, add the minced garlic and sauté a minute or two longer.
- Add the remaining ingredients, including the roasted bones when they are done, making sure to add every last drop of drippings from the pan to the tomato sauce.
- Simmer slowly for several hours. The gelatin from the bones and the chicken feet will help to thicken the tomato sauce and give it wonderful flavor.
