Preparation

Step 1

Makes about a cup of sauce

Sauté onions and garlic in olive oil on low heat until soft and transparent.

Whisk in remaining ingredients, cook on low heat for 30 minutes stirring often.

Thin sauce if necessary with additional water.

Add more red pepper flakes if you want it spicier.

For a variation, I suggest adding beer and just a touch, a bare touch! of apple cider vinegar. this does not make it a 'vinegar base' sauce. It just gives it a little extra oomf. And of course the beer has to be a good beer.
