This is a really fiery hot tomato sauce - ideal with pasta, to serve with barbecued dishes, to serve hot or cold with simple meat and fish dishes, or to stir into a chunky fresh crisp salad as a rich dressing.

5-6 tbsp olive oil
4 medium cloves garlic, minced
1-2 tsp hot red chillies, seeds removed (unless you really want some heat!) and finely chopped
800g can whole tomatoes, drained and chopped

Salt - Method

1. Heat the oil in a large skillet, add the garlic and chopped chilli and cook gently until garlic is golden, 1-2 minutes.
2. Add the tomatoes juice and olives and simmer until sauce is thickened, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Season to taste and serve over or tossed into cooked spaghetti, or cool and store in a screwtop bottle in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Tip:
To use in a dressing mix 3 tbsp tomato sauce with 1tbsp sherry vinegar or lemon juice and 6tbsp olive oil and season to taste. This could also be used as a chicken or fish marinade.
