Ketchup Substitute

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

• tomato(s)
• salt and pepper (optional)

Directions:

There are two ways of preparing the tomato as a substitute for ketchup. One method is to boil the whole tomato in water and the other is to microwave the whole tomato.

Boiling method:

Boil medium size tomato in a small pot of water (enough to cover the tomato) until the tomoto sightly breaks. Add salt and pepper if you want.

Microwave method:

Make sure you cut the sides of the tomoto as otherwise it may burst and scatter in the microwave. Place the tomato in a bowl with cuts on the side and cook for a minute.
