Preparation

Step 1

Makes 4 servings

In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, carrots, and celery and cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables are soft (about 5 minutes).

Stir in tomatoes and vinegar and increase heat and bring to boil. Next, reduce heat to medium and cook until thickened (about 10 minutes).

Stir in basil and oregano for about 5 minutes to concentrate the flavours. Season the sauce with sea salt and pepper.

Vegetables must be cooked! Whether boiled, steamed, grilled, sautéed, or roasted before being added to pizzas. Raw vegetables don't have enough time to bake and become tender, and will also seep too much water into the crust making it soggy. So, keep to sliced vegetables rather than large chunks.

Think carefully before topping your oven-baked pizza. Delicate ingredients are prone to overcooking if left in the oven for the full baking time, so try adding them about halfway through the baking process.
