  3. Stir in 28 ounces (794g) crushed tomatoes, 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained, 1 cup dry red wine (like Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot), 1/4 cup tomato paste, 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
