Bella wished for pizza for yesterday’s dinner and I was excited to make it for her. However I had almost no tomato to make sauce from so I had compromise and made sauce from sun dried tomatoes and red pepper I had instead. It worked beautifully and Bella was super happy. Because of that one ½ red pepper I had dried with the tomatoes, the sauce had a slight sting to it but luckily the kids did not object. The dried pepper can be substituted with a fresh pepper instead off course.
20 sun dried tomatoes, soaked in hot water for 20 minutes
½ dried hot red pepper or ¼ fresh red pepper, seeds removed and minced
¼ cup red onion chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
¼ cup fresh herbs chopped, I used parsley, marjoram, basil and chive
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 tbsp. agave
1 tbsp. tomato ketchup
1 cup water
Salt and pepper to taste
