Did you know one tablespoon of ketchup contains about a teaspoon of sugar? Here’s our fix.
Ingredients
2 tsp canola oil
3 yellow onions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup water
2 roasted red peppers, rinsed, chopped and patted dry
156-mL can tomato paste
1 1/2 tsp cider vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/8 tsp salt
fresh pepper
Instructions
HEAT canola oil in a medium saucepan over medium. Add onions and cook, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until very soft and browned, 20 min. Add water, scraping brown bits from the bottom of the pan, and stir until no liquid remains, 1 to 2 min. Stir in roasted red peppers and tomato paste until warmed through, 2 to 3 min. Remove from heat, then add cider vinegar, Dijon mustard and salt. Season with fresh pepper.
SCRAPE into a blender and whirl until smooth. Let cool to room temperature and refrigerate in an airtight container up to a week.
