  • 2 14oz. cans roasted tomatoes (or you can roast your own tomatoes)
  • 10 cloves roasted garlic (more or less to taste — if using fresh garlic, use 1 to 2 cloves)
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 tbsp red wine (one that tastes good)
  • 4 tbsp lemon juice
  • zest of 1 lemon, optional
  • 1 to 2 tsp of fresh rosemary or basil or thyme (or a blend of all three)
  • ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • salt and pepper to taste 

in a food processor, or blender, combine tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, red wine, lemon juice, lemon zest, herbs and red pepper flakes. Blend together well. Season with salt and pepper.
 

transfer mixture to medium size saucepan and heat over medium heat, bringing to a gentle simmer, for about 15 minutes.
