1
Heat the vegetable oil over high heat in a 4 quart saucepan. Add 1/2 cup of the onions and cook over high heat 3 minutes stirring frequently. Lower heat to medium low and continue cooking, stirring frequently until onions are rich brown in color but not burned, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the remaining onions, celery, bell pepper and butter. Cook over high heat until the celery and bell peppers start to get tender, about 5 minutes. Add the barlic, bay leaf, salt and peppers. Stir well. Add Tabasco, thyme, basil and 1/4 cup water. Cook over high heat 5 minutes to allow the seasonings to marry and vegetables to brown further, stirring occasionally. Add the tomatoes and tomato sauce, turn to low and simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add more water if too thick and the sugar. Simmer another 15 minutes.
