CHUNKY CROCK POT TOMATO SAUCE



Chunky Crock Pot Tomato Sauce image

The secret to good spaghetti sauce is, in my opinion, cooking it very slowly and for a long time. Using a crock pot is the perfect solution! This sauce is great because of all the nutritious vegetables in it, and because it is versatile. I make it without the ground beef for meatless Fridays, with the beef at other times. We pour it over pasta, serve it with spaghetti squash in the fall, or spread it on pita bread to make "pita pizza." All quantities are approximate, so don't be afraid to play around with the ingredients a little.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 4h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups tomato paste
1 (15 ounce) can whole tomatoes, cut up
1 cup chopped fresh zucchini
1 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
2/3 cup grated carrot
1/4 cup minced green pepper
1/4 cup minced onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground oregano
1 bay leaf
salt and pepper
2/3 lb ground beef (optional)

Steps:

  • If using the ground beef, brown it, then drain off the excess grease.
  • Combine all ingredients in the crock pot.
  • Cover and cook on high for about 4 hours.
  • Check the consistency an hour before it is done; if it's too thick, add a little water, and if it's too watery, leave the lid off so that it can reduce somewhat.
  • For Vegetarian/Vegan omit the ground beef or use a Vegetarian/Vegan ground meat sub.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Time 45m

Yield Makes 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped (about 1 tablespoon)
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 cans (28 ounces each) diced tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or Italian seasoning

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, the garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes with their juice and the thyme; simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened, 20 to 25 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of fresh vegetables: This will give your sauce a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include onions, carrots, celery, bell peppers, and zucchini.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices: Italian seasoning, basil, oregano, and thyme are all classic choices, but you can also try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or cumin for a little extra kick.
  • Let the sauce simmer for as long as possible: This will help the flavors to meld and develop. If you're short on time, you can simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes, but the longer you simmer it, the better it will taste.
  • Use a good quality canned tomato sauce: This will make a big difference in the final flavor of your sauce. Look for a sauce that is made with whole tomatoes and has a rich, flavorful taste.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: You want them to be tender but still have a bit of a bite to them.
  • Serve the sauce with your favorite pasta, rice, or vegetables: It's also great on sandwiches and wraps.
