Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup minced white onion
- 2 cloves garlic pressed through a garlic press
- 2 tablespoons minced sun-dried tomatoes packed in olive oil
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1½ teaspoon dried basil
- 2 tablespoons white wine like Sauvignon Blanc
- 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar optional
- 1 cup water
- kosher salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a large 10-inch skillet over moderate heat. When hot add in olive oil, minced onion with a pinch of salt and sauté until soft.
- Add in the garlic, and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add in the minced sun-dried tomatoes, dried oregano and basil and stir, cooking for 1 minute. The oil and the heat of the pan will soften up the dried herbs.
