Roasted vegetables give this sauce a deeply unique flavor!
Ingredients
- 1 medium red bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium onion cut into wedges
- 1 medium zucchini squash, eggplant or any other vegetable, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 8 ounces fresh whole mushrooms quartered

- 1 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 450°F.
-
In a large bowl, toss vegetables and garlic in olive oil. Spread out onto a large sheet pan, and sprinkle with salt. Roast veggies and garlic cloves for about 15 minutes, stirring half-way through. To avoid burning your garlic, make sure each glove rests above the vegetables during this roasting process.
-
Place your slow cooker on low and add tomatoes, red pepper flakes, vinegar, sugar, and remaining salt and pepper; stir. Stir in roasted garlic and veggies.
-
Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Do not open the lid while cooking.
-
When the sauce is nearly done, mice the Basil and Oregano.
-
Use a hand blender to puree the sauce. You can puree in batches using a blender or food processor if you do not have a hand blender.
-
Stir in the minced fresh basil & oregano, and allow to stand for 5 minutes.
-
Serve over pasta, polenta, or use as a pizza sauce.

I love food and everything that goes with it. I have spent more than 35 years in the kitchen, enjoying every minute of it. Okay… well, enjoying nearly every minute of it.
In addition, I have disbursed nearly as many years studying Wicca, Witchcraft, and Paganism. Combining these two interests has created a Magickal path where food, spirituality play brilliantly together.
My love of whole healthy foods, and unique recipes has also lead me to help run a local teen cooking program, where I teach kids valuable life skills in the kitchen. In addition, I teach different cooking classes for adults on subjects of making the time spent in the kitchen more enjoyable and efficient, recipe creation, and how to make cooking a part of your Magickal and spiritual practice.
From this, The Magick Kitchen was born. My journey with you is about developing a spiritual experience with food, far beyond the dull habit of consumption. We have a marvelous opportunity here to take a most basic-mundane task and make it Magickal!
Please enjoy the recipes, article, and content here on The Magick Kitchen. If you have questions or suggestions, I’m listening.
I am so glad you joined me! The personal act of sharing knowledge, experience, and personal perspective with you is an honor. Thank you!
