Directions

In a medium saucepan combine tomato paste and water. Whisk until smooth and add remaining ingredients listed until green pepper, onion, zucchini and oil. Warm sauce until a simmer begins. Simmer a good half hour. Lower heat to low, below a simmer.. And allow to slowly cook down and fully unite flavors. Stir occasionally. Meanwhile. Slice and dice up pepper, onion, and zucchini. Grab a medium frying pan and add in your tsp coconut oil. Olive oil is fine if that is what you have. Place vegetables in fry pan. sprinkle with a tiny bit of sea salt and saute over medium low heat until vegetables are limp. Not soggy just loosened up a bit. Add vegetables into tomoto sauce and continue allowing to cook over low stirring occoasionally. I like a good 3 hours but if you are short on time you can speed things along by microwaving the vegetables 5-6 minutes in the coconut oil and blending the warm sauce and vegetables together with a wand blending stick or in your blender or ninja. If going to blend allow to cool down a bit. Blending hot ingredients is dangerous and likely will end with burns and scoulds. Blending/pureeing is a good idea if the kiddos don't like vegetables.. They will never know! I love how the sweetness comes out of the vegetables and balances out the sauce. Taste your sauce . I didn't need to change a thing. It was spot on for us but if you feel you need a dash of this or that its your recipe now.. Go for it! Worcestershire sauce is one of those ingredients I reach for when something needs just a little something. Although this sauce recipe didn't need anything.
