Easy "No-mato" Sauce (AIP)
I know that there a million variations of this recipe around the web, but I thought I'd share mine with you. A few weeks ago I decided to make meat loaf, and made this recipe up on a whim. So, I'm not exactly how similar it might be to others out there, This sauce is incredibly handy to have in the fridge, and I have been using it in just about everything. Not to mention that it's packed with nutrients and antioxidants. No, it doesn't really taste like tomatoes, but it has an awesome texture and is really versatile! I've used it in meatloaf, on zucchini noodles, on tacos, and even as a pizza sauce.
This recipe will make about 2.5-3 cups of "no-mato" sauce, and can be stored in a sealed container in your refrigerator for around 10 days. Let me know in the comments what you decide to use your sauce for!

ReplyDeleteEased up on the spices and put it over cabbage rolls stuffed with pastured ground beef and cauliflower "rice." Also over ground beef and spaghetti squash.
DeleteHad to add juice of half a lemon and more garlic - then it was great
ReplyDeleteThis is SO AMAZING!!! I cut back on the spices by half. Love the flavor. Have added coconut milk and used it on seafood over zucchini noodles. Really GOOD. Thank you. Be well.
ReplyDeleteDo you think this recipe would freeze well? I often only need 1/2 a cup or so at a time.
ReplyDeleteIt freezes well. Done it.
ReplyDeleteWhat is "seal salt"?

ReplyDeleteThis stuff was horrible. Made it to go stuffed cabbage. Not sure at this point what I can do with it. Sad because organic veggies, grass fed tallow, and spices are not cheap.
