• Ready In: 55mins
• Ingredients: 14
• Yields: 1 1/2 cups

ingredients

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil or 1 tablespoon unrefined coconut oil
• 1 cup minced fresh onions or 1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
• 1⁄2 teaspoon unrefined sea salt or 1 tablespoon tamari soy sauce
• 3 minced garlic cloves or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin (preferably ground fresh)
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1⁄3 teaspoon powdered chipotle pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried crumbed basil
• 1 teaspoon dried crumbled oregano (optional)
• 1 (6 ounce) can salt-free sugar-free tomato paste
• 1 1⁄4 cups preservative-free chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons raw apple cider vinegar or 3 tablespoons lime juice
• 1⁄4 teaspoon stevia powder

directions

1. Heat oil in a 1-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and stir until tender, about 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and whisk until smooth. Bring to low boil, cover, reduce heat, and simmer with lid ajar to reduce splattering, stirring periodically until mixture thickens, 20 to 30 minutes.
2. Pour into wide-mouth glass jar, allow to cool. Cover and refrigerate. Use within 2 weeks or freeze.
