Ingredients

At a glance
Serves
4
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (16 ounce) can Italian diced tomatoes
  • 1 (6.5 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon capers, chopped
  • 15 kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • crumbled Feta or grated Parmesan Cheese

Methods/steps

  1. In a skillet, cook onion in olive oil over medium high heat until tender and translucent. Stir in garlic, and cook for 1 minute.
  2. Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, capers, olives, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Be careful not to add too much salt, since the capers and olives themselves can be quite salty.
  3. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for a minimum of 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, time permitting.
  4. Serve over pasta with crumbled feta or grated Parmesan cheese.

Additional Tips

Try adding crushed red peppers for an extra spice!

The tamarind in this classic Indian dish gives it a spicy, yet deliciously sharp, tangy flavor.
