Equipment
- Saucepan
- Wooden spoon or spatula
- Measuring Cups
- Measuring spoons
- Small whisk or spoon
Ingredients
- 1 2/3 cups tinned chopped tomatoes or passata sugar free
- ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons monk fruit sweetener or coconut sugar/sugar to taste
- ¼ teaspoon all spice powder
- 1½ teaspoons onion powder
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ¼ cup water
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a saucepan over medium heat and add the tomato paste. Stir for 1–2 minutes until it slightly deepens in color and becomes more fragrant.
- Pour in the chopped tomatoes (or passata) along with water. Mix well until everything turns into a smooth, even sauce base.
- Sprinkle in onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, all spice, salt, and pepper. Stir gently so the spices dissolve evenly into the sauce.
- Add Dijon mustard and apple cider vinegar. Stir again to blend, giving the sauce a balanced tangy flavor.
- Stir in monk fruit sweetener, then bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Lower the heat and let it cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally so it doesn’t stick.
- Check the taste and adjust seasoning if needed. When the sauce thickens to your preference, remove it from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
