Quick Tomato Sauce with Herbs & Garlic

By HeatherS

Herbs and tomatoes always make a fiavourful combination for pasta, rice, meats, fish, poultry, or vegetables. Here, I use basil and rosemary, but you
can also use fresh coriander leaves and tarragon.
Add 4 more cups (1 L) of stock and you have an inexpensive homemade tomato base for soup.

Ingredients

• 3 Tbsp (45 mL) olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 2 celery stalks, chopped
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• one 28 oz (796 mL) can diced tomatoes
• 1 cup (250 mL) vegetable stock
• 1/2 cup (125 mL) kernel corn, canned or frozen
• 1/2 tsp (2 mL) dried basil
• 1/2 tsp (2 mL) dried rosemary
• 1/2 tsp (2 mL) sea salt

Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oil in a medium-sized saucepan. Saute the garlic, celery, and onion for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion is translucent.

Add all of the remaining ingredients and mi well. Simmer the mixture for 8-10 minutes.

Serve warm over pasta, rice, meats, fish, poultry, or vegetables.
