Sauces

The lazy-man’s tomato pizza sauce

Start off with a can of tomato paste. Since I am cheap, I pick the cheapest I can find.

In a small screw-top container, combine some tomato paste, garlic powder, salt, pepper, basil (I use basil paste), olive oil, and a little splash of water.

Put the top on the container and shake until all ingredients are incorporated totally. For extra flavour, you can add oregano and parsley. (Pro tip: I have basil-flavoured olive oil, which adds to the pizza flavour.)

Pineapple Butter

In a saucepan, cook down 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, a handful of chopped cilantro, and approx. a cup of finely cubed fresh pineapple. Season with paprika, peppers, and chili flakes to taste.

Once cooked, blend in a food processor until smooth. Cool before refridgerating. Butter will be easily spreadable.
