Serves: will cover 2 12-inch pizzas, with some left over for dipping!
Ingredients
¼ cup olive oil
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (15 ounces) crushed tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried basil
¾ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon pepper
1½ tablespoons red wine vinegar
salt, to taste
Method
Heat olive oil in a small saute pan over medium-high heat. Once oil is warm, add minced garlic and cook, stirring frequently for 1 to 2 minutes, or until fragrant. Keep a close eye on the garlic; if it becomes brown or scorched it will taste bitter.
In a medium bowl, combine garlic oil mixture with the remaining ingredients. Season with salt to taste. Use immediately. May refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
