I do have a lot of multi-step recipes on this site, but this isn't one of them. All you need is a good can of tomatoes, ideally whole peeled (San Manzano or alike), a little garlic (roasted would be best here, but fresh will do in a pinch or even powder), and a few other seasonings and you will have a fantastic dipping sauce or sauce for pizza or pasta, in no time at all without ever turning on the stove. Give this a try for your next pizza night and let me know what you think.
Ingredients
1 can of whole peeled tomatoes (good quality!) or fire roasted
1 - 2 cloves of garlic or 1 tsp of dried garlic powder
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp salt
Optional: 1 tbsp of balsamic vinegar
Optional: 1 tsp sweetener of choice (1 date, maple syrup, agave syrup, sugar)
Flavor Boosters
sub 1/2 head of roasted garlic for fresh or dried.
1/2 cup of fresh basil
use any other fresh herbs you like (oregano, majoran, wild garlic, etc.)
Method
Add half of the tomatoes and all of the juice to a blender jar and add everything but fresh herbs to the blender.
Blend until combined.
Add fresh herbs (if using), pulse in but do not over blend!
With your hand, squeeze the remaining tomatoes until desired chunkiness is achieved. Add to rest of the sauce and stir.
Taste and re-season as necessary.
