Bring something special to the table with this well-loved recipe.

Course: Condiments , Lunch
Cuisine: Vegan , gluten-free

Ingredients

  • - 8 tomatoes and diced deskinned + deseeded is ideal but I didn't do this
  • - 1 large red onion roughly chopped
  • - 4-6 cloves of garlic roughly chopped
  • - 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • - 3 dried bay leaves
  • - 1 tsp dried oregano
  • - 2 tsp dried basil or 1 sprig, fresh
  • - salt to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine all ingredients in a large pot over medium low heat and let simmer for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all the ingredients cook down and become somewhat homogenous.
  2. Remove the bay leaves and use a stick blender or transfer to a blender.
  3. Blend until smooth and completely homogenous, and add salt to taste.
  4. Transfer to a clean storage container (I haven't tried canning this, and I wouldn't recommend it because the other ingredients lower the safe levels of acidity in the tomatoes).
  5. Store in the fridge once room temperature. Keeps for just over a week.
