Lunch: Mozzarella Marinara Recipe

Ingredients

1 small onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
1 cup water
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 bay leaf
24 egg roll wrappers
24 pieces string cheese
Canola oil for deep-fat frying

Instructions

In a large saucepan, saute onion and garlic in oil. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, water, sugar, salt and bay leaf. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 20-30 minutes or until thickened.
Meanwhile, place an egg roll wrapper on a work surface with a point facing you. Place a piece of cheese near the bottom corner. Fold bottom corner of wrapper over cheese; roll up just until cheese is enclosed. Fold sides of wrapper over top. Using a pastry brush, wet the top corner with water. Roll up tightly to seal, forming a tube. Repeat.
In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375 °. Fry mozzarella sticks, a few at a time, for 1 minute or until golden brown, turning occasionally. Discard bay leaf from marinara sauce. Serve with the mozzarella sticks.
