Preparation tomato sauce
Heat a pan with some butter and olive oil at high temperature and fry the onion and garlic. Add the tomato pulp and briefly bake with the onion and garlic. Add a shoot red wine and cook until boiling point.
Now add the pealed tomatoes and leave the sauce for another 20 mins. to thicken.
Remove the branches from the thyme and add, together with the tomatosauce into a blender to mix it into a smooth sauce.
Finally, add some cherry tomatoes as a nice topping.
Preparation polenta fries
Boil the water and then add the maize flour. Together, this will become a thick substance which you should stir for another 2 minutes on low fire. Once done, remove the pan from the stove and add some Parmezan and butter. Keep stirring until they are being taken up by the whole mass, put in a container and leave for some hours to cool down.
Once the polenta has cooled down, you can cut in any desired form. Fry in plenty of oil until brownish-gold
