• 3 TB oil and/or butter
• 1 sprig of rosemary
• 1 small red onion (or half a large one), medium dice
• 3 carrots, medium dice
• 2 cloves of garlic, chopped
• 1 can of tomatoes (28 oz can= about 3 cups)
• 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup chopped parsley leaves
• 1 TB oil or butter (or cream or cashew butter)

1. Toast the rosemary over low heat in the fat. Cook 3 minutes per side until wilted and fragrant. Discard rosemary.
2. Add onions and carrots to the oil with a nice pinch of salt and cook over medium low heat for about 7 minutes, to soften the veggies. Add the garlic and stir.
3. Add a can of tomatoes, apple cider vinegar and two large pinches of salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat and reduce to simmer. Simmer for 1 hour. Puree in a blender. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Stir in chopped parsley leaves and extra 1 TB of fat.
5. Sauce is ready to enjoy! Can refrigerate for a week or freeze for a couple months. Freeze in mason jars or freeze in silicone molds. Unmold and store in mason jars in the freezer for easy access to small servings of sauce!
