Smoky Tomato Sauce
Makes 3 1/2 cups (850 mL).
Life is often about that little extra that makes something good just that much better. Dipping falafels into Smoky Tomato Sauce needs nothing more than maybe a lettuce wrap to carry it. With apologies to lettuce growers, the flavour is most certainly in the sauce and falafel.

Cover and reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes for flavours to blend. Add a little more chipotle sauce if you wish. Serve sauce chunky or pureu0301e in a blender, if you wish.
