Description
Tomato sauce out of the can is almost always kinda gross. Try this super simple recipe instead.
Ingredients
- – 500ml of organic passata
- – 1 clove of garlic
- – 2 chipolte peppers, diced, in adobo sauce (two tablespoons of the sauce as well)
- – 1 small spanish onion, diced
- – 1 tablespoon of butter
- – 1 heaped teaspoon of firmly packed brown sugar *optional*
- – good quality balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- In a small saucepan saute the onion and garlic in butter and a good dash of olive oil until soft and translucent.
- Add passata, diced chipolte peppers, sugar and a good slurp of balsamic vinegar and simmer for 20-30minutes. Check for seasoning.
- Serve warm :)
Notes
If serving for children, don’t add the chipotle peppers and instead substitute 1/2 a teaspoon of smoked paprika, for that smokey, rich, spiced flavour. Also, I like my sauce chunky, kind of like a relish, but you can blend it and pass it through a sieve making it super smooth.
