Yeah mutti is a good brand.They are tinned but don't let that put you off as they are better cooked out than fresh. I use the best quality I can get - always Italian. The most common decent brand is Mutti which I get from Morrisons. It is more expensive per tin that bog standard but well worth it. All of their products are very good (puree, pasta etc). The san Marzano tins are best but to be honest the bog standard polpa is almost as good and slightly cheaper. The caramelised shallots or onions I make in a pan on a medium high heat stirring continuously and splashing in a little water when the onions/shallots start to catch on the bottom of the pan. Keep doing that for around 40 minutes until you have an onion jam. I sometimes put some in my tomato sauce and then blend it to smooth it out - I find it gives the sauce even richer taste. Good luck mate.
I will be having a go at this, I will report back. Cheers
