Make your own tomato sauce for your pizza
Homemade tomato sauce is a great way to store and use the summer harvest from the greenhouse.
This sauce can be used right away but is also nice when stored in the fridge for a few weeks. You can use the sauce for pizza, lasagne or as a base in a spaghetti meatballs sauce.
Spicy Italian tomato sauce
Ingredients:
53 ounces of tomatoes of different sorts
4 red onions
2-3 courgettes
2-3 capsicums
1-2 chillies depending on the desired powerfulness, chilli can also be omitted
3-6 garlic cloves depending on how powerful you want the sauce
Basil
Thyme
Olive oil
How to:
Chop all ingredients. Garlic and chilli should be chopped as fine as possible. Sauté the onions and garlic in olive oil until they have a brilliant aspect. Then, add the rest of the ingredients. The tomato sauce should simmer for 45-60 minutes. If you don’t use the sauce right away, you can pour it in glasses when cooled down and store it in the fridge. The shelf life is 3-4 weeks at 5 degrees in the fridge.
