Ingredients
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 packed cup of grated carrot
- 1 ½ packed cups of grated zucchini
- ½ of a medium onion cut into chunks
- 3-4 celery cut roughly into chunks, ribs
- 4 - 5 garlic cloves
- 28 oz can of whole tomatoes (796 mL can) peeled or diced tomatoes ok too
- 2 tbsp tomato puree optional
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- salt to taste
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
- 3 tbsp oregano fresh, chopped
Instructions
- Place the carrot, zucchini, onion, garlic cloves and celery in a blender. Process until you have pureed the vegetables together.
- Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. When it's hot, add the pureed vegetable and cook until the moisture has evaporated and it starts to caramelize and turn brown.
- Add the tomato to the vegetables. (Note : if you're using whole tomatoes, crush them with your hands, or pulse them in the blender to help break them up).
- Add the tomato puree, vinegar, sugar, cayenne pepper and a generous pinch of salt and simmer for about 20 minutes. Add the oregano and simmer for another 10 minutes.
- Season to taste as you go.
- You can store the marinara sauce in a bottle in the fridge.
