Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup canned coconut milk (full fat)
- 0.5 cup canned tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the canned tomato paste to the saucepan and stir to incorporate it with the garlic and oil.
Gradually pour in the canned coconut milk, stirring continuously to ensure a smooth blend.
Add the onion powder, dried basil, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir to mix all the spices well into the sauce.
Let the mixture come to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Allow it to cook for about 5-6 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Reduce the heat to low, and add the nutritional yeast and fresh lemon juice. Stir well until the nutritional yeast is fully dissolved, giving the sauce a creamy texture.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Remove from heat and serve immediately over your favorite paleo pasta or as a delightful dip.
