This sauce is so delicious! Even my daughter eats it. Thank you very much for the recipe!
We absolutely love your recipes, Dalton family! Thank you for all you do!
We’d love to try out this recipe…can you tell me how many oz are in the jar of tomato paste?
Thanks again!
6 oz
This looks great and I like that you used avocado as the base.
Gonna try this one tonight!
What size are the tins of tomatoes? I’ve got 2x 400g, but it looks small.
28 oz
Hi – I have had a delicious African peanut stew that does not use tomatoes and I prefer it over one’s that do use tomatoes. Do you have any suggestion for substitutions for the tomato components here?
Sorry Leigh, it is one of the main ingredients so I don’t really have a substitute for it.
Ok,…this may be my fav meal,..absolutely love it…I do minor changes,…. I know there are no rules to following recipes but my next batch will be with sliced mushrooms…
OMG! Looks amazing. I am just looking forward for my next meal prep. I wonder how would it go with steamed cauliflower instead of Avacado. Please keep up sharing recipes and excitement :)!
Hi, I’ve never seen tomato puree in a jar, usually it’s in a can or a tube. I’d appreciate a precise measurement; mucho thanks, Scott
I wish you’d be a little more precise in your measurements. “Blender container” of water depends on the size of the blender. A vitamix or blendtec is going to hold more than a standard Sunbeam. Also, “can of tomatoes” needs to specify the size. You did say what it was in a response to a query, so thanks for that.
Oh wow, I didn’t even know that was how I entered the ingredients. Sorry, that was when we first started the show and we didn’t quite have things streamlined yet. I will look at it.
Jill, sorry if I came off a bit harsh in that comment. I know you’re working hard at what you do and I appreciate it. So: Merry Christmas!
