Ingredients
  

  • 1 kg tomatoes
  • 1 onion peeled and quartered
  • 6 cloves of garlic peeled
  • 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika powder
  • ½ cup loosely packed basil fresh
  • 1 heaped tablespoon oregano fresh
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon coconut sugar

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven to 180˚C.
  • Chop the tomatoes in quarters.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the tomatoes with the onion, garlic, sea salt, paprika, coconut sugar and olive oil.
  • Transfer to an oven tray lined with baking paper.
  • Bake for a good hour and a half, or more. Add the fresh herbs 20 minutes or so before you take them out of the oven, to avoid them charring.
  • Once roasted, let cool, then whizz in a blender till smooth.
  • Store in a glass jar in the fridge.

Notes

  • Pour some of the sauce into an ice cube tray and freeze, defrosting them one by one as you need them for pizza bases.
  • This recipe will yield a heaped cup (I didn't really measure it to be honest) - If I make it again I'll be doubling it as it's so delish.
  • Nutrition panel is an estimate only.
