Simple Tomato-And-Onion Sauce (Southern African)

Simple Tomato-And-Onion Sauce (Southern African)


1. In a pot, fry the onion in oil, fat or lard. Stir often, until onion turn pale brown.

2. Add the tomatoes and rest of ingredients.

3. It's best to cover the pot and simmer until nicely thickened, or leave open and stir often.

4. Add any extras you like while it cooks, such as gravy or a little ground meat. To thicken and brown the simple sauce, sauce powder (like Bisto) is often stirred into a little lukewarm water, and added.

5. You can also add a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce.

6. Serve over pap/sadza/ugali (and there are many other names for it in the various languages!) Of course, if it is available, this would be served with a meat stew or grilled meat. If meats are not on the menu, this is the meal. Sometimes spinach or swiss chard is added to the plate as a side veggie.
