Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Ingredients:
Olive oil
8 Roma tomatoes
Half an onion
6 oz tomato paste
28 oz can of crushed tomatoes
Whole head of garlic
Spices: salt, pepper, dash of thyme, ½ tsp concentrated oregano, 1 tsp dried basil, ½ tsp ground ginger, ¼ tsp chili powder (measurements aren’t exact. Let your senses guide you with seasoning choices).
Half carrot stick
Directions:
Prep your ingredients by chopping onions, garlic and tomatoes
Shave half of a carrot and put it to the side
Heat a big sauce pan with olive oil and cook onions and garlic on medium until slightly brown
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes soften. Then add the shaved carrot and stir until they soften.
Add both the can of tomato paste and the can of tomatoes into the pan and stir the mixture so everything is evenly combined.
Let the sauce cook for 5 minutes. Then start to season the tomato sauce with salt & pepper and the rest of the spices. You get to play around with the amount of spices in your sauce so keep test testing and have fun as you get creative!
Turn the heat to medium/low and let the sauce simmer for 20 minutes or more, until the sauce has a nice thick consistency.
Making sauce is a great practice in cultivating patience and trusting the process. Notice if antsy energy arises and try to breathe and be with it. Enjoy this time while your sauce is cooking by reading a book, talking to a friend, meditating, journaling etc. Know that the extra love you are putting into this will pay off.
Serve right away or let cool before placing in glass jars for the freezer or fridge for another time.
