Keto Italian Marinara Sauce

Servings: 14


INGREDIENTS

  • 1492 ml (2 large cans) whole Italian Tomatoes (San Marzano are best) - pureed
  • 75 g (one half) white onion – diced
  • 120 g (1 stick- 8 tbsp) unsalted butter
  • 20 g (5 cloves) – garlic, minced
  • 70 g (1/3 cup) avocado oil or olive oil
  • 8 g (2 tbsp) Italian dry parsley – or 10 g of Italian flat leaf parsley coarsely chopped
  • 6 g (1 tsp) sea salt
  • 3 g (1 tbsp) dried oregano – leaves
  • 4 g (1 tbsp) dried rosemary
  • 4 g (1 tbsp) dried basil
  • 5 g (2 tsp) dried thyme
  • 2 g (1 tsp) black pepper – ground
  • 750 g (3 cups) water
  • 75 g (1/3 cup) dry red Italian table wine - OPTIONAL but recommended for a more authentic Italian taste - or substitute with 2 tbsp of Balsamic vinegar

DIRECTIONS

  • 1.   In a deep pot, set to medium-low, heat the oil until it begins to sizzle then add the diced onions. Cook for 2 minutes

  • 2.   Add the garlic and stir

  • 3.   Cook until the onions are starting to be translucent but have not changed color. This will take up to ten minutes.

  • 4.   Add the 2 cans of whole tomatoes to the pot and mash with a potato masher

  • 5.   Add the wine or balsamic vinegar and stir

  • 6.   Add the liquid butter (or it can just be added as a solid- it will melt)

  • 7.   Add all the rest of the seasoning; Dried parsley, salt, pepper, rosemary, oregano, thyme and basil. Stir well.

  • 8.   Reduce heat to low and cover the pot with a lid, allowing a small opening for the steam to escape,

  • 9.   Cook for 2-3 hours. Stir about every 15 minutes.

  • 10.   When done, remove from heat and set aside to cool. Enjoy!

FYI

It is best to buy the whole canned tomatoes because the best tomatoes are in the whole version, then the next best is the diced. The least desirable for canning go to the pureed product.

It is important to cook this recipe slowly as the low heat and long cooking time are the secret to an amazing tasting sauce. Stir from time to time making sure the sauce does not stick to the bottom of the pot (that would cause a burned taste).

When the Marinara sauce is done you should have about 600 g of finished sauce. This is a very flavorful sauce and a serving is about half a cup.
