BLW Recipe: Hidden Veggie Sauce

This sauce is delicious served with pasta and can be used for a range of other meals too. It would be great in a lasagne or on top of chicken.

Serves 2 adults and 1 baby.

Ingredients:

• 1 tin/carton of chopped tomatoes
• 1 courgette, cut into quarters
• 1 pepper (I used red), cut into quarters
• 2 bay leaves
• a sprinkle of fresh or dried mixed herbs (basil goes really well)
• brush of oil

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 150^oc and brush the bottom of a roasting tin with oil.
2. Place the courgette and pepper into the tin and put into the oven.
3. Once the courgette and pepper are beginning to soften (after about 15 minutes), add the carton of chopped tomatoes, the bay leaves and the herbs.Return to the oven for another 15-20 minutes.
4. Remove the bay leaves and discard. Blend the veg and herbs all together until it is to a consistency to suit you and your baby.
5. Serve!

Notes:

• If the tomatoes are starting to become a little dry during cooking, add a tablespoon of water and mix.
• This recipe could easily be doubled up and made into batches which could be frozen for use on busy days.
