"Some blogger was doing something similar to this and carrying on about it so I thought I'd give it a try. I am always looking for a better "Brooklyn" kind of flavor. He ran his through a food mill *groan* but I like buzzing it up in the food processor. It has a rough, tomato-ey character, not as smooth as tomato sauce, although if you want it that way, just buzz it smooth and reduce. The roasted onion is what sets the flavor off- everything you want in a sauce without too much of a processed taste. It's easy to make but it does add up in time from roasting the onion, so think ahead and freeze some. It's just me and Bill now, so I use half of this on a 12-inch and pop the rest in a freezer bag. I am not quite the OAMC yet, but if I can save time later, that's cool."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Brush onion with oil and place cut side down on a nonstick foil lined baking sheet. Roast at 450F for 20 minutes, then flip over, brush with a little more oil, then roast until the onion "pops" and looks caramelized and ruffled like a rose.
Step 2
Pulse tomatoes in a food processor until they resemble chunky salsa.
Step 3
Place all ingredients in a saucepan and simmer over low heat until reduced by half, about an hour.
Step 4
Puree sauce in food processor (in batches if necessary) and cool before using, or reduce further by simmering until it is your desired consistency.
Step 5
Freeze any unused portions for use later.
