List of Ingredients




Homemade, Nourishing Pizza Sauce
Makes about 3 cups of sauce
Two 7-oz jars of tomato paste
14 oz homemade chicken stock*
1&1/4 tsp celtic sea salt**
1 Tb dried basil OR 3 Tb minced fresh basil
1 Tb dried oregano OR 3Tb minced fresh oregano
2 tsp onion powder
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tb red wine vinegar***
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
Combine all ingredients in a small sauce pan.
Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 10-20 minutes. If you have a splatter screen, use it because this can make quite a mess on the stovetop.
When the sauce has reduced and thickened to the right consistency for pizza sauce, turn off heat and allow to cool.
This recipe makes enough sauce for about 3-4 pizza meals for my family of four. I store the extra sauce in the freezer (in the same jars the tomato paste came in), so that I don't have to make sauce each time we have pizza. My favorite grain-free crust to use these days is this coconut flour-based crust from The Healthy Home Economist. I top it with pizza sauce, kalamata olives, mild green chile, nitrate-free salami, sauteed mushrooms and onions, and plenty of cheese. Mmmm.

*I don't skim the fat from my homemade chicken stock. If your stock doesn't include fat, you may want to add a couple tablespoons of olive oil to this recipe.
**The tomato paste and chicken stock I use are both unsalted. If there is already salt in what you are using, you'll need to reduce or omit the salt.
***My homemade chicken stock tends to be a bit sweet and very strongly flavored. The addition of red wine vinegar helps to cut the chicken stock flavor so that the pizza sauce doesn't end up tasting like chicken soup. If your homemade stock is not so strongly flavored, you can probably omit the vinegar.
