Recipe for Basic Tomato Sauce

Basic Tomato Sauce
A good tomato marinade is the base for so many wonderful recipes – pizzas, rice, poultry, and fish. Here is a formula for a basic tomato marinade that starts with a soffritto of vegetables, green beans, and oatmeal prepared in a little extra virgin coconut oil, to which beans, tomato vegetables and herbs are added. Simple and delightful. The marinade can be clothed up with weeds, bread, olives, wine, and all manner of vegetables.
