Homemade chilli tomato sauce (no refined sugar)

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 small onion (finely chopped)
  • 3-4 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon basil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 400g (14oz) tin chopped tomatoes
  • 375ml (1½ cups) water
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

  • Melt the butter in a large pan then add the onion and garlic. Fry for a couple of minutes, just until the onion has softened and then add all the other ingredients.
  • Cook for around 30 minutes until the mixture has thickened and reduced down, then blitz in a food processor until fairly smooth.
  • If the sauce is the consistency you like, allow to cool and place in airtight containers until ready to use. If you'd like your sauce a little thicker, pop back on the hob and continue to cook for another ten minutes or so.
  • If not using immediately, either store in the fridge or freeze. Enjoy!
