Jungle-Fusion Pizza Recipe

After a trip to the farmers' market in San Isidro, Merrick showed us how to make a quick and easy pizza from scratch. The recipe for his Jungle-Fusion pizza sauce is below and the recipe for the crust will be posted soon.



Pizza Sauce
8 lbs small ripe tomatoes (skin on and whole)
8 large carrots, peeled and chopped
1 yellow pepper, chopped
1.5 cups chopped celery
4 whole bulbs of garlic, peeled and chopped fine
6 bay leaves
2 tablespoons fresh basil
1 cup of spinach (optional)
chili flakes
3 large onions, chopped

Heat a large sauce pan until hot on med-high (no oil).

Add the oil when the pan is hot and add the carrots, celery and onions. Add garlic and stir. Add the tomatoes and cook on med-high heat until the tomatoes are soft in the middle. Add herbs.

Blend all ingredients in a food processor and return to the pot. Boil.

Add salt to taste.
