Cleaning out the kitchen sauce

You can use this for pasta, over chicken or fish.



I am cooking dinner for a gluten free friend who just had a baby, and I decided to clean out the fridge/pantry.



Ingredients



1 onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 yellow pepper, chopped

1/4 cup capers, drained

1 can artichoke quarters

1/2 cup basil leaves, chiffonade (roll up leaves into a cigar and thinly slice)

2 cans crushed tomatoes in tomato puree

s&P

1/2 lemon



Method



Heat a little Olive oil in pan and saute onions, garlic and peppers until soft and translucent.

(Once soft, you could add red or white wine for more flavor but I didn't have any open and its only 9:30!)



Add capers, artichokes, basil and tomatoes, bring to simmer.



Season with salt and pepper and squeeze in 1/2 lemon juice.



I plan to serve the sauce over chicken with steamed broccoli and brown rice. Yummy and healthy!!
