The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The RawtarianI love using this raw tomato sauce recipe as a raw pizza sauce, spaghetti sauce and more! Serve as a raw spaghetti sauce over raw zucchini noodles, chopped cabbage as noodles or raw kelp noodles. This raw tomato sauce recipe can also be used as a raw pizza sauce on top of a raw pizza crust.
This recipe keeps well in the fridge for up to three days.
The sun-dried tomatoes will make or break this recipe. They need to be chopped a bit and soaked in oil to soften them. (I generally always store my sun-dried tomato slices in extra virgin olive oil in a jar in the fridge. It's easiest if they are chopped before soaking in oil, too.)
This is a small batch. However, the flavour of this raw tomato sauce recipe is so strong (thanks to the sundried tomatoes) that a little sauce goes a long way.

Hi Andrea, you can just let sit at room temp for an hour or so - that'll take the chill off. Also, if you aren't using much sauce it's not really a big deal for temperature. I don't normally heat mine up in a dehydrator even though I own one

Hi, and thank you for that response. I did try this recipe and enjoyed it, thank you. I did have a question though about the sundried tomatoes. I did as you said and soaked them for more than six hours in olive oil, and they were still hard as rocks. Is there a particular brand I should be using? I also chopped them up before soaking them, and used a food processor for this.

Hi, and thank you so much for this recipe that looks so yummy. I have one question. How long do you recommend that the dried tomatoes be soaked in the olive oil?

Hi Christen, most of the tomatoes I've been using have been soaking for ages. But I think if you soak for at least 6 hours you should be good.

Ideally they would be soaked longer though - like days
