Pizza sauce
Description
Use this quick and easy, no-cook pizza sauce as a basic topping for your homemade pizza. Add mozzarella or other cheese, sliced mushrooms or peppers, olives, salami – whatever you like. And while the pizzas are in the oven, treat yourself to a cheeky tomato juice cocktail.
Ingredients
- 400g tin chopped tomatoes
- 2 tbsp tomato purée
- 1 tsp dried oregano, or dried mixed herbs
- generous pinch sugar (any kind)
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
- Drain the tomatoes through a sieve over a jug, pressing very lightly with the back of a spoon or ladle until about half the juice has been removed (see Recipe tips).
- Tip the tomatoes into a bowl and stir in the tomato purée, herbs, sugar and plenty of salt and pepper.
- Spread onto pizza dough, add your favourite toppings and bake.
