Hi Folks,
I make my own tomato sauce using tinned organic diced Roma tomatoes from Aldi. Excellent product and cheap.
When I want a pizza base sauce I cook the tomato sauce right down to a thick paste having added extra garlic, diced red onion and bazil. You won't find a better tasting pizza base, guaranteed.
Tomato Sauce:
3 tins organic diced Roma (Italian) tomatoes
1/2 a salad (red) onion diced
1 tsp sea salt
2 tblsp Rice Malt Syrup (or other sugar sub)
1 clove garlic (crushed)
1/2 cup of shreaded bazil
1 tblsp apple cider vinegar
In a saucepan cook the onion in a tblsp of olive oil for 3 minutes on medium heat.
Add salt and garlic and cook for a further 2 minutes.
Add remaining ingredients and simmer for about 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Place the mixture in a food processor and process until smooth.
Bottle, refrigerate and enjoy.
For the pizza sauce:
Dice up half a salad onion and cook in a tblsp of olive oil for 3 minutes
Add 2 crushed cloves garlic cook for two minutes
add 1/2 cup shreaded bazil together with 1 1/2 cups of above sauce plus pinch salt and sweetener to taste.
Simmer very slowly (stir often to prevent sticking/burning) until mixture reduced to thick spreadable paste.
As a guide I find I need to cook this mixture for about 1/2 hour or more to get it right.
