3/4 cup / 185 ml water

1 tbsp cumin

2 tsp onion powder

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp paprika

1 tsp sugar

1/4 + teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust heat to taste)

1 1/2 tsp dried oregano

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp salt

Instructies

Notities

Tomato passata is called Tomato Puree in America. It is just plain, pureed tomato. It is NOT tomato paste which is sour, concentrated tomato. It creates a thicker smoother sauce than using crushed canned tomatoes. In Australia it's available in supermarkets in the pasta section and the good value ones are cheaper than canned tomato.

2. Add-ins - a can of green chilies would be terrific, as would chopped jalapeños (fresh or canned, adjust to heat). For a hit of fresh, stir in finely chopped coriander/cilantro leaves.

3. Freezing - I like to freeze in serving size portions. Defrost, warm if required, give it a good mix then it's good to go!
