This video is not sponsored, the smoked salt used in this video was a drawing win at Matt's Off-Road Games 2026. If you are interested in trying some (I highly recommend it), it is produced by S & L Fine Foods, (928) 533-5604, sandlward@outlook.com. To make along, you will need: 3 lbs. tomatoes (most varieties will work fine, but smaller tomatoes work better for roasting) 1/2-1oz. fresh basil 1 small yellow onion 1 medium to large bell pepper (any color will work) 2-5 cloves of garlic (minced works just fine if you don't have fresh) Extra virgin olive oil Large crystal salt (table salt works in a pinch, but the large crystals are nice for roasting, and the smoked salt I used in this video adds to the sauce if you wish to get some.) Salt & Pepper to taste if desired 1 lb. ground meat or sausage if desired (not used in the video)
