100 - Metre Sauce Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Jo_jo_ba / All my dishes 10 months, 2 weeks ago So named because every ingredient in this sauce was taken from no further than 100m from my doorstep! Note the absence of onions or garlic. I would have added them, but I don't grow them in my garden (next year for the garlic!) and I didn't have any ... More Prep:30m Cook:210m Servings:15	Jo_jo_ba

Ingredients

2 zucchini, chopped

20 plum tomatoes, chopped

5 beets, chopped

1 hot banana pepper, seeded and cut into strips

3 Shepherd peppers, seeded and cut into strips

1 hot Portugese pepper, seeded and cut into strips

1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips

2 cups stewed tomatoes

1/2 cup water (or home-made chicken stock, beef broth or locally made red wine...)

1 large sprig fresh rosemary, leaves stripped

1 large handful fresh basil, torn

Directions

Preheat oven to 375. Spray 3-4 baking sheets with oil.

Toss all the vegetables onto the baking sheets, ensuring there is a little space between everything (ie. don't let the veggies overlap).

Roast 45 minutes, rotating pans 1/2 way through.

Scrape all the roasted vegetables into a large pot, add stewed tomatoes, water and herbs.

Turn the heat to medium-low, stir and bring to a simmer.

Turn the heat down to low, cover the pot and simmer 2 hours longer, stirring every 1/2 hour or so.

Cool to room temperature if not using immediately.

Put into jars or tight-lidded containers, store in fridge or freeze for future use.

The whole concept of creating a recipe from ingredients you could gather from 100 meters of your door is just jaw-dropping AND heart-warming AND inspirational! AND, by the way, it sounds wonderful! Glad to hear that you're covered on the garlic -- let me know if you'd like me to send you some "sets" from my great-grandmother's heirloom "walking" onions. Lots of people in my family GROW them for sentimental reasons, but those of us who do ever actually use them, use them only thoroughly cooked, because they are strong enough to peel wallpaper!
