Ketchup & Tomato Based Sauces Raw Recipes

[Guest guest]

Here are some home made 100 percent raw ingredients that I make batches and

quite tasty:

KETCHUP

3/4 cup blended tomatoes (1-2 ripe medium tomatoes)

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

2 tblspns of Nama Shoyu (raw soy sauce or tamari or any soy sauce you wish-these

two are fermented so basically in its raw form)

2 tblspns of your preferred sweetener (raw honey, agave syrup, stevia, yacon-you

can purchase at Wholefoods or Trader Joes)

2-3 cloves of garlic peeled and minced (med. cloves you cann use less if you

want less garlicky but I like garlic so start with two you can ad more later)

1 to 1 1/2 cups sun-dried tomatoes soaked for at least 30 min to 1 hr.(Note: if

you have a just a regular blender, chop into very small pieces as they will come

out in large chunks unless you want chewy, chunky ketchup)

Put all ingredients in a high speed blender such a vita-mix or Blendtec etc.

blend on high until smooth. You will get a nice creamy and flavorful ketchup

and you know what went in it. With most Americans, I notice they like it

sweeter so fiddle with the ingrdients a bit until you get the taste you prefer.

MARINARA PIZZA SAUCE

This makes a great base for pizzas, calzones and sandwiches.

1 1/2 cups blended tomatos (1-2 med. ripe tomatoes)

1/2 cup lemon juice

2 tblspns soy sauce (Nama Shoyu or Tamari)

2 tblspns olive oil

2 tblspns chopped yellow onion

3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced

1 cup sun-dried tomatoes (Note: If you only have regular blender, chop and

slice into very small pieces)

pinch of sea or celtic salt and black pepper according to taste.

Combined in a high speed blender until smooth.

Optional: Shred some zucchini (2-3) with vegetable peeler, salt leave for at

least 15 minutes, drain with paper towel and add some of the marinara sauce. So

fast easy and delish raw pasta dish!

SUN-DRIED TOMATO DRESSING

This concentrated dressing goes well into salads or to garnish a plateful of raw

crunchy veges.

1/2 cup olive oil

1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

1/2 cup soy sauce (Nama Shoyu or Tamari)

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

3 cloves of garlic, peeled and minced

1/2 cup of soaked sun-dried tomatoes

Combine all ingrdients and blend until smooth.

All these recipes keep for at least five days in a tight glass jar container.

If you put in a hermetic sealed or vacuum sealed container can last for over a

week.

You can get some of the more exotic ingredients in any large health food store

hear you.

Enjoy and hope that helps!

Choose well and be well!

I would quibble with using soy sauce. Very high in sodium. I personally avoid it.
