Homemade Marinara

INGREDIENTS

• 800ml diced or crushed tomatoes
• 2 tbsp coconut oil
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tbsp butter or ghee (omit or replace with coconut oil to keep it vegan)
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp dried oregano, or to taste
• 2 bay leafs
• 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
• S+P to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Warm coconut oil in a medium sauce pan over medium heat. Add onions + sauté for 5 min, until the onion softens.
2. Next, add mushrooms, butter, garlic, spices + balsamic vinegar. Stir until fully combined + the mushrooms have been cooked down, about 5min.
3. Add tomatoes + bring to a boil, stirring consistently. Reduce heat + allow to simmer for about 15-20 min or until the sauce thickens. Stir occasionally to keep the sauce from sticking. That’s it! Remove bay leafs before serving.
