What makes this sauce so special? The addition of Mediterranean Mermaid Seasoning brings together a unique blend of herbs and spices, turning a basic marinara into something extraordinary. You’ll also love the hint of sweetness from maple syrup, which balances out the acidity of the tomatoes and makes this sauce extra comforting.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4-5 oz. diced onion
- 3 tablespoons Mediterranean Mermaid Seasoning
- 1 (28 oz.) can diced tomatoes or tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or sweetener of your choice)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
- Heat olive oil: Place a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and diced onions, cooking for 3-5 minutes or until the onions are slightly translucent.
- Add Mediterranean Mermaid: Stir in the Mediterranean Mermaid Seasoning and cook for about 20 seconds to allow the spices to bloom and release their flavors.
- Add tomatoes: Add the diced tomatoes (or tomato sauce) and gently stir to combine with the onions and spices.
- Simmer: Reduce heat to medium, cover the saucepan, and let the sauce simmer for 15-20 minutes. For a thicker sauce, leave the lid off and simmer uncovered.
- Finish: Stir in the salt and maple syrup (or sweetener), give it a final stir, and your marinara is ready to serve!
