How to Make Fresh Tomato Olive Sauce
- Finely chop the tomatoes. If using large tomatoes, remove the seeds and pulp for a less watery sauce.
- In a medium bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper.
- Gently stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and deepen. The longer it sits, the better it tastes!
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving. Consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
