Basil Tomato Sauce
No more store bought prepared tomato sauces once you’ve made your own, they are SO tasty and beautiful. Do use home grown or organic tomatoes though, as they are much more flavoursome than non-organic.
You need (for about 1.5 cups):
• 8-10 tomatoes
• 14 leafs of fresh basil
• a dash of olive oil
• 2 tsp of minced garlic
• 1/4 cup of non dairy milk (I used hemp milk)
• salt & pepper to taste
You do:
– quarter the tomatoes (or just roughly chop them)
– cook them in a small pan with the olive oil, garlic, pepper and basil
– let simmer without a lid so water can evaporate, stir regularly
– when the sauce is reduced enough to your liking, take off heat and blend sauce with stick blender
– return to heat and add non dairy milk, heat through and dilute more if you like to
– taste and add salt if you need to
