Ingredients:

1/4 cup of fresh basil
2 garlic cloves
1/4 cup of onions
1/4 cup of peeled tomatoes
1/4 cup of sweet pepper
Salt
Pepper

Step 1:Chop Chop

I picked basil from my garden, along with the sweet pepper, garlic and onions and finely chop everything. I use my Ninja food processor to do it all. Make sure you have it on the chop mode not puree. I would do the basil first, take it out and then do the other ingredients.

Step 2: Saute

Add the basil and all the chopped up ingredients in a pan. Saute with olive oil until slightly brown.

Step: 3 Peeled Tomatoes

Chop up the peeled tomatoes and add it to the sauteed mixture. (You can use canned peeled tomatoes and if you are really motivated buy whole tomatoes and peel them yourself
