Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and sautΓ© until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the crushed tomatoes, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, honey, smoked paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove the sauce from heat and stir in the fresh parsley.
Let the sauce cool slightly before blending it to a smooth consistency using an immersion blender or transferring it to a standard blender (optional, for a smoother texture).
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or honey as desired.
Allow the sauce to cool completely before transferring it to a jar or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
