This recipe comes from The Garden of Eating by Rachel Albert-Matesz and Don Matesz. I found a review of it on www.nourishingdays.com

• Ready In: 55 mins
• 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
• 1  tablespoon honey (optional)

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.
