Creamy Marinara

6                  plum tomatoes (or 4 medium tomatoes)

2 tbsp.          fresh lemon juice

1-2               dates, peeled and pitted

¼ cup           hemp seeds

¼ cup           extra virgin olive oil

1 tbsp.           fresh basil (1 tsp dry)

1 tsp.            dried oregano

1 tsp.            sea salt

1 clove         garlic (1/2 tsp. garlic powder)

1 tsp.            onion powder

Put all the ingredients in a high speed blender and process until smooth and creamy.

If you want the Marinara lightly warmed, one-hour before serving put in a glass bowl and place in the dehydrator at 115 degrees.

Toss with zucchini noodles; or enjoy as a lovely tomato soup!
