Cook tomatoes for about 30 minutes or until they're soft and sagging. Be sure to stir occasionally.
Remove pot from heat and cool until there's no danger of burning yourself.
Ladle tomatoes and juices into your kitchen blender, until its 1/2-2/3 full.
Add lid to your blender and cover with a pot holder or tea towel.

Pour tomato puree into a 4 quart pot and continue blending cooked tomatoes until done.

When you're happy with the consistency, mince garlic and stir in along with salt, paprika and oregano.
Simmer everything for another 5-7 minutes or until the garlic softens.
