Wow - this sauce was amazing! I'm glad I made extra, because I think it will make fantastic "ketchup" for burgers later in the week!
I thought it was also pretty easy to make. I put mine in my food processor before serving because I wanted it to be a bit smoother. I also used a chipotle pepper (from a can, not dried) place of the red pepper flakes. Both variations worked beautifully!
Hopefully later in the season, everything will be from the garden!
Ingredients
Directions:
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook until soft, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for 1 minute. Add remaining ingredients, reduce heat to medium-low and cook until thickened, about 35 to 40 minutes.
Serve with grilled steak - and enjoy!
