A challenging part of eating clean is staying away from sauce jars that are simply full of sugar and preservatives, and lots of other things you are trying to avoid if you are eating clean.
So here are a couple of sauce ideas I have thrown together, often in the absence of other ingredients being in the house...
I'll start with the sauces requested from the serving suggestions mentioned on my last post:
Homemade Spicy Tomato Chutney
Recipe (serves 1)
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1/4 onion
1/3 garlic clove
1/2 tsp chilli flakes (adjust to your own taste)
6 cherry tomatoes
1 1/2 tsp honey (I swapped out the sugar, turns our I was on to a real winner!)
1 tsp white wine vinegar (saves popping open a bottle of wine)
Method
1. Chop up and pop your onion a in a little frying pan with the oil for 4-5 minutes to soften.
2. Add the chilli flakes and garlic (I normally just slice my garlic like mad because I don't get on with the crusher) and stir for 2 mins.
3. Then slice your cherry tomatoes into quarters and then throw them in - it will need a couple of minutes until your tomatoes are as broken down as you like them. (I like to squish them a little with a spoon so the skins shrivel and come off a bit. I find this makes the chutney more spreadable).
4. Add the honey and white wine vinegar and leave to simmer very gently for 5-10 mins. Set aside to cool until you are ready for Spicy Tomato Chutney with your din dins!
Try it with sweet potato chips as a ketchup replacement. Almost anything goes with tomatoes so this is a great little sauce recipe to have in your repertoire.
