GINGERY TOMATO SAUCE image

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 onion, peeled and halved
2 cloves garlic, peeled
(*we used 3)
1 teaspoon dried ginger
(*we used a little extra)
1-inch length fresh ginger, peeled
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cups organic tomato sauce
(*we used 2 cans, 15 oz. each)
2 cups water
(*we used 1 cup)
1 teaspoon superfine sugar
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

1. Put the onion, garlic, dried ginger, and fresh ginger into a processor and blitz to a pulp. 2. Heat the butter and oil in a deep, wide skillet, then add the onion-garlic mixture. Cook over a low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally so that it doesn't burn. Add the tomato sauce and water to the pan, and season with the sugar, salt and pepper. Cook for 15 minutes, at a gentle simmer, then taste for seasoning before decanting into a warmed jug or gravy boat and taking to the table for people to pour over their slices of stuffed pumpkin. - From Nigella Christmas (Hyperion) Per serving (based on 12): 43 calories, 1 gram protein, 6 grams carbohydrates, 1 gram sugar, 2 grams fat, 3 milligrams cholesterol, 371 milligrams sodium, 1 gram dietary fiber.
