10 minute Tomato Sauce for pizza and vegan ideas for topping yummy!!!!!!!

I don't buy anything in a can, so I had to come up with a way to make homemade tomato sauce.
I like the flavor better of fresh sauce then the can! This easy recipe is great made for 1 person to
100 people. It takes no more then 10 minutes to make.
You can use whatever fresh tomatoes you like. People say only use roma tomatoes,
but I like all different flavors from a variety of tomatoes. I have even used yellow tomatoes for sauce.
It had a sweeter flavor then the red ones and less acidic as well. So try a variety of tomatoes for
your sauces:)


10 minute Tomato sauce
makes enough for 1 10 inch pizza crust

2 tomato's
pinch of sea salt
any fresh herbs you like chopped (1 teaspoons)

In a small pot on medium heat add 2 washed tomatoes, pinch of salt over each one,
cover. Let cook 3 minutes, not taking off cover.
When 3 minutes are over, lift cover and the tomatoes should be
sweaty, and collapsing. Mush down with a fork any remaining
pieces.
Cook on low the remaining 7 minutes covered.
If your tomatoes are on the drier side add a very small amount
of liquid.
You may not need the whole 7 minutes more, watch and stir until
slight thick texture.
Strain out the seeds and skins.

 I don't mind a few seeds

I made pizza for a birthday party. I used real cheese on request from the birthday guest, and no cheese for another.
I also used Tunn brod which is a Swedish flatbread. So use any flat bread you can find or even a wrap.
You can also find gluten free variety's

Toast the bread for 3-5 minutes until slight crisp edges. Then add the tomato sauce.
I sauteed 1 cup of  broccoli with long stalks in 1 tablespoon of butter with stalks for 4 minutes until fork tender.
Add broccoli and grated cheese, put in oven until cheese melted.
Another person wanted no sauce, so I put cheese on the bottom, melted it, and add the broccoli
and grated carrots.

 For the people who wanted no cheese I add tomato sauce then sauteed broccoli, and grated carrots.

I made a white sauce, vegan  for one pizza. I used a vegan creme fraiche (2 tablespoons) with a pinch of sea salt and a good tablespoon of chopped  parsley. Then add the broccoli and grated carrots. Yummy

When making pizza use whatever toppings you like, but all these were huge hits:) Everyone couldn't stop eating them.The grated carrots give a sweet taste and a cheese texture.

So try and enjoy.

New find from Sweden, Astrid och Aporna cheese:) vegan!!!

Astrid och Aporna is a company in Malmo Sweden. They make cheese and meat alternative.
I discovered them online, then to my surprise my local store just started carrying it.
The only place you can get it now is in Sweden or some places in Denmark.
The store was Willy's, but ICA, COOP, also sell them. Check your natural food store as well.
I purchased the Jeezly original it is a white cheese, smooth soft cheese with creamy texture.
Mild cheese flavor, so you can use it with everything.
I think it has a sweet flavor, reminds me of a good farmer cheese.
I have melted it also and it is sooooooooo good!#
Cuts like a dream with a cheese slicers.
Here is some pictures of it and a link to other things they sell!
If you are vegan or cannot have milk you should be jumping for joy. Enjoy
