- 3 tablespoons of evoo
- 2 zucchini's (in cubes)
- 1 onion chopped
- 5 cloves of garlic (crushed)
- 4 cans of tomato cubes
- 10 tablespoons of dried mixed Italian herbs (you can choose to buy fresh herbs I don't because the wilt before I can finish them)
- 1 tablespoons of brown sugar (you can add a bit more to taste)
- Aromat to taste (1,5 tablespoon)
Heat 2 tablespoons of evoo, add onions until "glassy" add garlic, dried Italian herbs and 1 tablespoon of evoo. On medium heat keep stirring until your kitchen smells like the herbs, add zucchini stir, lower heat put lid on and leave to simmer until zucchini is a little softer (not too soft!) add tomato cubes stir and add brown sugar and aromat to taste. Let simmer for about 10 minutes to allow all the flavors to infuse. Use staff mixer or blender to make into a smooth sauce or leave as is if your family likes chunks.
This is in no way a traditional italian recipe it is more like "pasta a la Chayil" :-D this recipe is to familytaste I try to use as little salt and sugar as possible so possibly you will need to add more to your family taste.
I don't know if aromat is available in America but I am sure there are simalar mixes available maybe from Goya?
1 opmerking:
If I am not mistaken, isn't Aromat essentially MSG? Whenever I visited friends in Denmark, I would pick some up and then realized after deciphering the label that it was really pure MSG with some flavorings of course. That wouldn't stop me from using it in moderation but don't have access to it and haven't been to Scandinavia for a few years.
I am not vegan/veg. but I make fresh tomato sauce with garlic, onion, carrot, salt, pepper, and tomatoes. That's it. Sometimes a pinch of sugar to temper the tomatoes. At the end, depending on how I'm feeling I either puree it or leave it chunky and freeze. Then use it for any recipe adding additions as required..
Anyway, interesting recipes. Thanks.
