Ingredients

  • 2 medium onions
  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • 1/2-1 fresh red chilli
  • 1 bunch fresh thyme
  • 14 ounces canned tomatoes (chop them roughly if they're whole)
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

  • Slice the onions, smash and finely chop 4 cloves of garlic. Deseed the chilli and slice it thinly. Pick the thyme leaves and reserve some for garnish. Heat olive oil in a pan over a medium heat and add your onions, your chilli and the most of your garlic and stir them constantly, then after a couple of minutes add the thyme leaves but watch out - the olive oil will splash!
  • One more minute - and you can add the tomatoes. Bring to the boil and simmer for 5-7 minutes. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and add some more extra virgin olive oil for a deeper flavour. The sauce is done! When serving don't forget to garnish with chopped garlic and fresh thyme leaves - it will freshen up the look and the taste of your dish!
  • You can optionally add smashed olives, or use traditional basil leaves instead of thyme. Pour the sauce over your pasta, or add it as a side to your beef, it's even good with some kinds of fish, you can just try it and thus decide where you want it! Bon Appetit!
