Obscure and artisanal ingredients may be cool and claim to have incredible benefits but you know what actually makes the most brilliant meals? Using simple, natural ingredients that are local to you. Being able to make them in a practical amount of time and for a manageable cost. Sharing them with others, because everyone enjoys them and they just so happen to be healthy.

When I first started Natural Nourishment, I coined the phrase 'Making Every Mouthful Matter' and I stand by that mantra with every recipe I create. This recipe is no different.

Enjoy this delectable sauce atop some pasta or mashed potato.
