Ingredients
  

  • 2 large tomatoes, roughly chopped (about 450g / 15.9 oz)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) tomato sauce, sugar-free
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) tomato paste
  • 3 tbsp (45 ml) olive oil
Spices
  • 2 tsp (10 ml) stevia powder
  • ½ tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) salt
  • For a smoother, restaurant-style sauce, use an immersion blender to blend the sauce directly in the pot after cooking.
  • To develop a deeper, richer taste, roast the tomatoes and garlic in the oven before adding them to the pot.
  • Make a double batch and freeze it in individual portions for quick and easy low-carb meals later on.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or multi-cooker on the 'Sauté' setting over medium heat.
  3. Add the chopped onions and crushed garlic, and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  4. Add the chopped tomatoes, stevia, salt, and dried thyme.
  5. Pour in ¼ cup of water and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have softened and most of the liquid has evaporated.
  6. Stir in the tomato paste until it is fully incorporated.
  7. Pour in the sugar-free tomato sauce and mix everything together well.
  8. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired before serving.
  10. Add a handful of fresh basil leaves at the very end of cooking for a burst of fresh, aromatic flavor.
