Method
Preparation
Top, tail, skin and chop the onions and garlic.
Crush the garlic in a garlic crusher or with a pestle and mortar.
Assemble the spices.
Cooking
Stir fry the onions and garlic with the salt in a medium saucepan until the onion is translucent.
Add the tomatoes, water, tomato paste and wine.
Cover and simmer for 30 minutes (can be less in a rush).
To serve
Serve as a starter with pitta bread.
Serve with a rice or grain meal that needs a bold, hot sauce.
Variation
Add chopped fresh chili peppers with onions, if no ground chili is available.
Add cayenne progressively until the sauce is hot enough.
Add a tin of chopped tomatoes if no fresh tomatoes are available, or mix and match.
Puree all or some for a smoother sauce.
Use tabasco if you have no chili left.
