Ingredients
- 3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 dried chilli peppers
- 1 teaspoon dried chilli flakes
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 small onions, finely diced
- 2 Tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tins crushed tomatoes, fire roasted if possible
- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 cup vegetable broth
- ¼ cup vodka, optional
- Basil leaves
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a medium size pan over a medium high heat. Add the dried chillies and the chilli flakes to flavour the oil. Let fry for about 2-3 minutes. Add the onion and garlic to the pan and let fry gently for another 5 minutes. It’s okay if they colour slightly that is perfectly fine. Golden onions are always welcome.
- Add the tomato paste to the pan and mix well. Let the paste cook into the onions and garlic for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the crushed tomatoes, balsamic vinegar and the stock. Let this come to a simmer and reduce for about 15 minutes, until it’s thick.
- Remove from the heat and finish with the basil leaves and vodka if using.
