This tomato sauce is very easy to make. I feature white meat chicken here because that's my go-to meat these days, but the sauce will work equally well with beef or venison. It can even be used without any meat at all. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
- ~1 lb ground white meat chicken
- 1 28 oz can plum shaped tomatoes in puree
- olive oil
- 3-4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 yellow onion, cut up
- 1/2 tsp salt
- fresh ground black pepper to taste (I like about 6 twists on the grinder)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried basil or a few fresh leaves if you have them
- dash of oregano
- 1 tsp dried parsley or some fresh chopped if you have it
Preparation:
Start by frying up the chop meat in a large skillet with a bit of olive oil until fully cooked and a nice shade of brown. Set aside.
Add a bit of olive oil to your sauce pot and sautee the chopped garlic. As the garlic JUST gets brown add in the cut up onion and sautee til slightly translucent and shiny.
Place canned tomatoes in a bowl, cut in half and have fun with a potato masher. :-) Add tomatoes and puree to sauce pot and stir. Add in salt, pepper, garlic powder, basil, oregano and dried parsley. Bring to a boil and then simmer on low for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Finally stir in the fried chop meat, simmer for a bit and pair with your favorite pasta or vegetable.
Blessed be... and happy cooking!
