1/2 onion, minced

2 cloves pressed garlic

2 tbsps. olive oil

2 6-oz. cans tomato paste

1 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. sugar

1 tbsp. dried parsley flakes

pepper, basil, and oregano to taste

Spray 1-2 baking sheets with non-stick cooking spray - spread the mixture out as thinly and evenly as possible. Dry in the oven at 140 degrees for about 6 hours with the door just open (or cover with mesh and dry where it’s quite warm). Roll up the resultant leather in plastic wrap and store in a sealed plastic bag. (Sure, it can be a snack - but it’s great for camping... reconstitute into tomato sauce by adding 3 times as much water.
