Servings: 8
Calories: 59kcal
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon crushed garlic)
- ½ tablespoon ginger, chopped (I use bottled, crushed ginger)
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 11/2 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 3 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup crushed or chopped tomatoes
Instructions
- Heat up oil in a pan. Add onion and fry until softened (around 3-5 minutes).
- Add garlic, ginger and smoked paprika. Fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add all remaining ingredients. Simmer, with the lid on, for 15 minutes.
- Blend sauce until smooth. (See my recipe notes)
- Pour into a jar or bottle. Store in the fridge for up to a week.
Notes
Blend until smooth. I use my handheld immersion blender (fancy name for a stick blender), but if you don't have one of these then you can transfer the sauce to a regular blender. Process until the sauce is smooth.
If you want a thicker sauce, return to the pot and simmer (without a lid) for an additional 5 minutes until sauce has thickened.
