This recipe is tasty, easy, and great for putting over pork chops and other meat. I got this from a friend a few years ago when she brought this meal to us after our house fire.
You can find the other two recipes for the meal pictured here: Paleo Breaded Pork Chops and Cauliflower Rice ~ all three are Paleo and Gluten Free.
Homemade Marinara (Good for covering pork)

I use this Homemade Marinara on my Paleo Breaded Pork Chops. (Recipe also available.)
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Olive Oil
- 1 small-medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped (I use more.)
- 1 stalk celery, chopped
- 2 (32 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
- 4-6 basil leaves
- 2 dried bay leaves
- Sea Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Butter (optional - I don't use)
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic. Saute until soft and translucent, about 2 minutes.
- Add celery and carrot. Continue to cook about 5 more minutes.
- Add tomatoes, basil, and bay leaves. Reduce heat to low. Cover pot and simmer for 1 hour, or until thick.
- Remove bay leaves and taste for seasoning. If sauce taster too acidic, add butter (1 teaspoon at a time, to round out the flavor). - I have never needed to do this.
- Pour half the tomato sauce into the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Continue with remaining tomato sauce.
- While the sauce is simmering, prepare your pork chops (or other meat).
Notes
- If not using all the sauce, allow it to cool completely and then pour 1 to 2 cup portions into plastic freezer bags. Freeze up to 6 months.
