Directions

Saute onion, bell pepper, garlic and carrots in olive oil in a 4-quart saucepan until vegetables are tender (about 10 minutes).

Add mushrooms and continue cooking 2 or 3 minutes more.

Add tomatoes, bay leaf, aniseed and wine.

Simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens (about 1 to 1 1/2 hours).

Add oregano, basil, parsley and lemon balm; stir and simmer 15 to 20 minutes longer to let flavors mingle.

Cathy's note: The recipe says nothing about removing the bay leaf afterward, but this is standard practice so that any sharp edges on it do not cause discomfort or physical damage to people.

Sun-Dried Tomato Monkey Bread

Truly awesome. I made the dough myself using the bread dough dough cycle on the breadmaker. Also used some olive oil instead of 3/4 cup of butter to lighten things up. Next time I'll use canned parmesan instead of fresh shaved so it's more like bread crumbs. Incredible smell. Just toating it later for breakfast the next day made it worth it. Great breakfast/brunch bread.
