Slap Sauce
Using up overripe stuff - an easy, flavourful jar of summer sunshine to turn to when you need it. The perfect pizza sauce, ready to go.
Makes: About 2 cups
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: None
INGREDIENTS
1 capsicum
1/2 onion
1-2 tomatoes
1 tin tomatoes
2 garlic cloves
olive oil
salt
oregano
METHOD
Blitz everything together into a smooth sauce.
This is the perfect pizza sauce - all the right flavours ready to go.
You could also use a tin's worth in a baked pasta instead of passata, or marinate a chook in it, or of course throw it through some spaghetti last minute with some added chilli.
HINTS
This is a rescue mission for overripe capsicum, tomatoes and onion - the softer and sadder they are, the sweeter the sauce.
It's a pizza base, a pasta sauce and a marinade all in one jar, so make a big batch when the crisper is overflowing.
Add chilli at the point of use rather than to the base, so the same jar can feed the kids and the heat-seekers.
