Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 14 ounces canned diced tomatoes (with liquid)
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat until it begins to shimmer.
Add the minced garlic to the hot oil and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant and golden (be careful not to burn the garlic).
Stir in the red pepper flakes and cook for an additional 30 seconds to release their flavor.
Mix in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to blend it into the oil.
Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their liquid) and stir well to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to allow the flavors to meld.
Stir in the honey, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Remove from heat and allow the tomato oil to cool slightly before transferring to a serving bowl or jar.
Serve warm or at room temperature with fresh bread for dipping, or use as a condiment for other dishes.
