Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium-sized Tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 small Onion
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 1 small Red bell pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 cup Fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Stevia
Instructions
Blanch the tomatoes by placing them in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, until the skins begin to peel away.
Remove the tomatoes from the water and let them cool. Once cooled, peel the skin, core them, and chop them into small pieces.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Dice the onion and chop the garlic cloves finely. Add them to the skillet and sauté until the onion is translucent and aromatic, about 5 minutes.
Chop the red bell pepper and add it to the skillet, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the chopped tomatoes to the skillet and stir well.
Season with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Stir to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens.
Chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the sauce along with the apple cider vinegar and stevia.
Stir well and cook for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary before serving.
