Prep: 5 mins
Cook: 15 mins
Makes: 2 batches
Ingredient
½ red onion finely chopped
½ red chilli finely chopped (optional, or more to taste)
2 garlic clove, minced
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp tomato paste
½ tbsp apple cider vinegar
200 g chopped plum tomatoes
½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
½ tsp dried basil
½ tsp dried oregano
¼ tsp salt
pepper, to taste
Method
Fry onion, chilli and garlic in butter until soft without letting it turn brown.
Add tomato paste, vinegar, chopped tomatoes and bring to a boil.
Add the garlic powder (if using) and herbs.
Let simmer on low heat for at least 15 minutes and add salt and pepper to taste. NOTE: The sauce will be enough for two batches, so freeze half of it and save for another time.
Pro tip:
Canned whole tomatoes have the best taste, especially plum tomatoes, but good-quality chopped or pureed tomatoes of any variety work well too.
Tomato sauces only get better, the longer they are allowed to simmer.
Make batches ahead of time and store in the freezer.
Storage:
The sauce will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.
To freeze, pour into freezer-safe containers or heavy-duty freezer bags. The sauce will last 3-4 months, or longer if you use a deep freeze
