How to Make Spicy Tomato Crumble

  1. **Make the Crumble Topping:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups breadcrumbs, ½ cup rolled oats, ¼ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup grated parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried sage, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  2. Cut in ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using your fingers or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Set aside.
  4. **Make the Spicy Tomato Filling:** In a medium saucepan over high heat, combine 4 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons capers (drained), 4-6 sliced pepperoncini peppers (adjust to taste), 1 tablespoon honey, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, ½ cup dry red wine, 28 ounces (1 large can) crushed tomatoes, and ½ cup pitted Kalamata olives (halved).
  5. Bring to a rapid boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
  6. Pour the spicy tomato filling into a 6-cup greased casserole dish.
  7. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the tomato filling.
  8. Place the casserole dish on a baking sheet (to catch any spills) and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy hot! Delicious with grilled fish or spooned over pasta.
