Instructions

Prepare all your ingredients. If you plan to make your seasoning, ensure all of the herbs and spices are from a well-known source and as fresh as possible.
Heat your saucepan. Add avocado oil and let it cook for 1 minute on medium heat. Reduce heat, and add coconut flour. Using a spatula mix it all into a smooth paste. This is the base for the sauce. Add your spices and mix once again.
Once all is combined, add your broth, tomato paste, and vinegar in. Mix it all and bring it to a boil. Let it simmer until sauce has thickened, for approximately 5 to 10 minutes.
For an extra smooth sauce look, blend it all using a hand immersion blender and cook for another 5 minutes.

Notes

Seasoning - it is best to make your own and store it for later.
Thickening - if you do not want very thick sauce, you can reduce on coconut flour and skip Xanthan Gum.
Chunks in - the last step of blending together into a smooth thick sauce is optional. If you like your sauce to have small pieces of herbs in it, you can skip it.
