Easy Fat-free Tomato Sauce
Ingredients
- 3.5 lbs Fresh tomatoes
- 8-10 Large garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp Whole black pepper or per heat preference
- 1.5 tsp Salt
- 2 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Mexican oregano
- A handful Fresh basil optional
Instructions
- Heat a medium sized pot on medium heat. Wash and cut tomatoes in half.
- Smash the garlic cloves and add them to the heated pan along with the whole black peppers and sauté for a minute or two, until the garlic is fragrant.
- Add the tomatoes, salt, onion powder, and Mexican oregano to the pot. Mix everything together and bring to a boil on medium high heat. Adjust the heat back to a low, cover and let cook on low for about 45 minutes. Stir occasionally to make sure nothing sticks to the bottom.
- Once the sauce reaches the desired thickness, turn the stove off. Let the sauce cool for 5-10 minutes and then add the fresh basil, if using.
- Let cool completely. Use a blender to process the sauce if a smoother texture is desired.
- Divide and store in the refrigerator for 3-5 days or freeze in freezer friendly jars for longer.
