Maybe you can’t dive headfirst into a giant ball pit of crusty Italian bread, but you can still have that crispy coating, that rich tomato sauce, and grain-free meatballs as good as a Brooklyn grandmother’s.
Paleo Marinara Sauce
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cups finely diced sweet white onion
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh oregano
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh basil
- ½ teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ cup dry red wine, I use Cabernet
- 2 28-ounce cans whole tomatoes
- 1 6-ounce can tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, fresh herbs, and salt. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the onions are translucent. Add the wine, canned tomatoes, tomato paste, and honey and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours if you can, stirring every 10 minutes. Remove from heat and blend until smooth. Add additional salt or honey to taste.
