Ingredients
Scale
- 2.5 ounces salt pork, chopped (see note)
- 1 medium white or yellow onion, chopped
- 4 large garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 (28-ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup vegetable stock
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt (see note)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Combine everything except the parsley in a slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for four hours.
- Puree the sauce using an immersion blender until smooth. Stir in the fresh herbs.
- Store the tomato sauce for up to a week in the refrigerator or store in the freezer for several months.
Notes
- Look for salt pork near the meat counter at the grocery store.
- Because the sauce is pureed the vegetables just need a rough chop. If you like a chunkier sauce, chop the vegetables smaller and skip the pureeing step in the recipe.
- The recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of salt, but depending on how you use the sauce you may want to season it a little more. I left it a little under-seasoned since I use the sauce in different recipes that may have extra salt.
