Pour in the rest of the tomatoes, then add the olive oil, garlic, vinegar, oregano, and salt. Whisk to blend.
Step 3
Taste, and if the mixture is too acidic, stir in a little sugar to balance it out. Use as desired. Leftover pizza sauce will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or you can freeze it for several months.

Recipe adapted from Crispy Kale Pizza with Marinara Sauce (page 168) in my cookbook, Love Real Food.
*Tomato options:
You can also use canned whole tomatoes or diced tomatoes. Just blitz them in a blender or food processor until they resemble the crushed tomato consistency shown in the photos.
