Ingredients

Directions

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute the onions until tender, about 5 minutes, and season with salt.
  2. Add the garlic and oregano and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the tomato paste and cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  3. Whisk in the wine and simmer until reduced by half, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Strain, pressing on the solids, and return to the pan at a slow simmer. Whisk in the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in 1/2-inch chunks a little at a time. Season with salt and pepper.
