45 oz. organic tomato sauce
3 teaspoons organic sugar		 2 teaspoons Chef’s Shake Blend *
1 ½ teaspoons ground mustard
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon salt (Redmond Real Salt)
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 bay leaf
½ teaspoon cumin

  3. Add mushrooms.  Saute a few more minutes.
  4. Add tomato sauce, sugar and spices (remaining ingredients).  Simmer approximately 45 minutes.  Serve over pasta or rice.

We used Lundberg Organic Brown Jasmine rice cooked with homemade chicken broth instead of water.  It has enough flavor that you don’t need to add salt and butter.  GREAT COMBINATION!
