Cracked Tomato Sauce

9 ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 tin chopped tomatoes

  • Olives (handful)

  • Capers (1-2 tbsp)

  • Nasturtium berries (nasturtium seeds soaked in salt + vinegar), to taste

  • 1 red or white onion

  • Dried oregano

  • Salt

  • Red lentils (to thicken)

  • Water (if needed)

Steps

  • Dice the onion and add to a pot with a splash of oil. Cook until softened.

  • Add the tin of tomatoes, olives, capers, nasturtium berries, and oregano.

  • Add red lentils (start with ~¼ cup) — these will thicken and add body.

  • Add a splash of water if the sauce is too thick.

  • Simmer until the lentils are soft and the sauce has thickened.

  • Blitz with a knife (rough chop in the pot) or blend to your preferred consistency.

  • Season with salt to taste.
