Brown one lb. of ground beef, turkey, pork or chicken. (At this point I put in chopped up green beans or spinach or carrots or some of two) You can leave this out if he doesn't like it. Pour in legal tomato juice and simmer down. Eat like chili or on top of spaghetti squash.

A bit of crumbled basil will heighten the flavor. Conventional recipes include mushrooms, Tobasco (it's legal) and a dash of chili powder. Carol F. SCD 3 yrs.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Jen H. Is the sauce thick enough? If not, try straining it the way we drip the yogurt. That will allow the water to drip out of it and the sauce will be thicker. If it's the flavor, try looking at the back of the jar on the kind he likes and see what is in it. Maybe you are missing the spices he likes. Oregano, basil, garlic? Jody mom to -5 and -7 SCD 17 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 You know, my favorite sauces in a jar have some sweetness to them. Most have corn syrup in them to make them sweeter. So, I bet if you add some honey this will help. Oregano, basil and parsley are the main italian seasonings in the sauces, too. Bay leaves flavor really well, too, but they can have a bite so maybe only one or two while simmering, and removing afterward. That's about all I can think of. OH and tons of salt - those jar sauces have a ton of salt in them so this may be needed until he gets used to it, and then you can decrease each time you make it if you don't want all the salt. I just know the homemade ketchup I've been making is really yummy, almost like a marinara and I use honey in it for sweetness. Maybe some red wine vinegar, too? Or cooking wine? Spaghetti is my next cooking project since it's a favorite of ours, so these are the ideas I plan to implement but haven't done yet. I have to figure out how to do that spaghetti squash! Robbie and scd 2 wks Tomato Sauce I'm having a really hard time making a tomato sauce my son will eat. The only way he will eat his veggies is if I hide them in pancakes or top them w/ spaghetti sauce. The homemade kind I am making just isn't cutting it. Right now I am mixing tomato juice, tomato's, onions and garlic. I simmer until it creates a thick sauce. It doesn't taste to bad to me, but he knows it's not his Newman's Marinara sauce we used to buy. Any suggestions??? Thanks!! Jen H.

I made this today for you. it was simple and excellent. 3/4 pound minced veal 2 cups tomato juice 6 garlic cloves sliced 1-2 tablespoons olive or sunflower oil salt and pepper 1/2 teaspoon honey 1 zucchini peeled and sliced into thin strips with vegetable peeler. Heat a large saucepan, add oil. Saute garlic and add meat. Brown meat turning often. Add slat and pepper. Add tomato juice and reduce from the boil. Add zucchini and simmer uncovered until thick and meaty at least one hour. Carol F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
