    Tomato Marinara

    Sure, you can buy marinara premade at the grocery store, but nothing is quite as comforting as homemade tomato sauce simmering on the stove. From a health standpoint, we also love tomato sauce because tomatoes contain the health-promoting antioxidant, lycopene, which becomes more available to your body when it's heated.

    Ingredients

    • 20 Roma Tomato – or use 2 x 230ml cans of peeled tomatoes
    • Garlic, clove
    • 1/Onion, raw – large, chopped
    • 2 tbsp Brown Sugar, unpacked
    • Basil – leaves
    • 1 tbsp Oregano, dried
    • 1 tbsp Italian Seasoning
    • 1 tbsp Vinegar, balsamic
    • 1 tbsp Salt
    • 1/2 tbsp Capsicum
    • 1/4 tbsp Olive Oil

    Directions

    1. Score 20 roma tomatoes (place a shallow X on the bottom of each tomato).
    2. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Submerge tomatoes in boiling water for 15-20 seconds, depending on ripeness, until the skins are loosened.
    3. Move the blanched tomatoes to a bowl of ice or cold water. Peel the skins off from the X.
    4. Add peeled tomatoes to a pot and crush tomatoes with blender on LOW speed for 5 seconds.
    5. Add remaining ingredients to the pot — garlic, onion, brown sugar, oregano, Italian seasoning, balsamic vinegar, bay leaves, salt, pepper, and olive oil.
    6. Bring to a boil. Turn heat down to simmer on low for 45 minutes - 1 hour.
    7. Remove bay leaves.
    8. Blend sauce until desired consistency. For a chunkier sauce, blend 4-5 pulses. For a smoother consistency, blend 5-10 pulses.
    9. Add in 8 leaves of basil and simmer for 30 more minutes until thick.
