Fresh Tomato Sauce
It's that time of year for fresh tomatoes! Fresh tomatoes make my mouth water just thinking about them! There are so many things you can do with them...Tomato sandwiches, salads, stuff them and even make fresh tomato sauce! What's better than that?
What You'll Need:
8-10 cups of tomatoes, chopped
1 tablespoon of organic cane sugar
1 teaspoon of dried oregano
1 teaspoon of dried basil
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 small onion, chopped
1 small package of mushrooms, sliced
In a pot cook tomatoes, sugar, oregano, basil, a pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper until tomatoes break down and sauce forms. (Note: I like to leave the skin on and seeds in for extra fiber. If you want to peel and deseed them you can, but it's not necessary.) Once the sauce forms you can chill or freeze the mixture until ready to use or you can proceed to the next step below.
Sauté onion, garlic and mushrooms until tender. Add the tomato mixture and stir to combine. Use sauce as you would normally as a pasta topping or as I did in lasagna. Either way you can't go wrong!
