Simple Tomato-And-Onion Sauce (Southern African)

1. 1

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

2. 2

   Add the tomatoes and rest of ingredients.

3. 3

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

4. 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. 5

   You can also add a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce.

6. 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.
