Makes 5 Cups

Ingredients

1½ Kgs Fresh Tomatoes
1 Whole Head Garlic - peeled
2 Medium Onions roughly chopped
1 Small Carrot - chopped - optional
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
2 Tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
2 Tablespoons Wine - optional
2 Teaspoons Dried Oregano Leaves
2 Teaspoons Dried Basil Leaves
2 Teaspoons Dried Parsley
2 Teaspoons Dried Thyme
2 Teaspoons Dried Rosemary
½ Teaspoon Black Pepper Powder
½ Teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes optional
1 Teaspoon Pink Himalayan Salt
½ Teaspoon Keto Sweetener - I used Stevia powder
Method
Preheat oven to 200°C With both the elements on.

Cut tomatoes in pieces. Place in a large roasting pan. Scatter garlic , onion, carrot over-top. Drizzle with olive oil, wine & balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle with all the herbs, salt, peppers. Toss with a large spoon to coat.

Place in preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, stirring well half way through cooking. The mixture shouldn’t dry out completely and some of the tomato skins will char slightly. Stirring well half way through ensures that nothing gets too dark. Allow to cool.

Blend in a food processor or use immersion blender to create a sauce with your desired chunkiness level. I made a smooth sauce, strained it into a strainer. If you find the sauces tangy then add ½ teaspoon sweetener of your choice, I added stevia powder.

Here is a delicious, fingerlicking and silky smooth sauce. You will love this sauce. It has a natural roasted color, do try it, worth the effort and time taken to make this!!
Freeze this in a zip lock bag on a baking tray. When required just break pieces you require and your ready to go!!
