Adaptations
For onion and garlic-free pizza sauce, I use garlic-infused olive oil and 1 teaspoon of asafoetida (hing) and the greens from two bunches of spring onions (scallion) that have been chopped in place of the onion.
You can substitute the tinned tomatoes for passata if your children are not keen on tomato seeds.
Keeps well in the fridge for 1 week in an air tight container or stored in a container in the freezer. It can also be canned in sterilised glass jars.
