Ingredients:
1 Tbsp EVOO
1 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes
1 small red onion, chopped
2 Tbsp tomato paste
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
3 Tbsp brown sugar (I use Splenda Brown Sugar Blend)
1 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
Salt & Pepper
In a saucepan over medium-high heat add the oil and chopped onion. Sprinkle salt and pepper into mixture and stir until translucent. Once the onion is softened add the nutmeg (optional) and brown sugar and stir to coat. Then add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste and vinegar.
Once mixture begins to bubble, lower the heat to a simmer. Stir frequently over the next 40-50 minutes, until the liquid has reduced and become thick. Check flavor throughout. If too sweet add a little more salt and pepper.
Once thickened transfer the sauce into a food processor or blender and pulse until desired texture is reached.
Slather on a good meatloaf or store in an airtight container in your refrigerator for future condiment needs!
