Tomato sauce with crayfish

Spread the love

Ingredients for 2 servings:

  • 500 g tomato sauce, pureed
  • 125 g crayfish (crayfish)
  • 6 medium-sized tomatoes, cut into small pieces
  • 2 medium-sized onions, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • Herbs of your choice (e.g. sage, basil, lovage, parsley)
  • Paprika powder
  • salt and pepper
  • some tomato paste
  • 1 pinch(s) of sugar
  • Butter for frying

Instructions

Working time approx. 5 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 15 minutes

Briefly fry the crayfish, finely chopped onions, and garlic in a little butter, then add a little tomato paste. Then add the diced tomatoes and simmer until the tomatoes release some of their juice. Now add the passata and bring to a simmer. Season to taste with salt, pepper, paprika, and a pinch of sugar. Add herbs to taste. We like the herbs listed above. If you like it spicier, you can add chili. Your imagination is the limit. We sometimes eat the sauce without the passata, as the diced tomatoes already release their own juice, which is enough for us served with pasta.
