It has become so popular, because it’s really versatile and can be used with literally anything – from chicken and fish to egg dishes, wraps, pizzas, sandwiches and even braaibroodjies (braai toasties) boerie rolls and burgers. Give any dish a boost of flavour by just adding a spoonful or two of this tasty sauce.

Melanzane, is the Italian word for brinjal (egg plant or aubergine, as some may refer to them). And the ever-so-popular version where slices of roasted brinjal are smothered in a rich Italian tomato sauce and baked with cheese on top, is known as Parmigiana di melanzane. This is an absolutely wonderful side dish or starter.

A flavourful and versatile tomato sauce is such an amazing staple to have in your kitchen. It’s really worth making a big batch while you’re at it – do this on the weekend, when you have time. You can add almost any protein to this sauce. For some recipes the sauce can be the base for the meal (see the Easy chicken parmesan in the tips in the recipe) and other times it’s a delicious accompaniment.
