Preparation

Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan set over a medium heat until hot.

Add the garlic, shallot, chili, red pepper, and a generous pinch of salt, fry until softened and starting to colour, 4-5 minutes.

Stir in the paprika, dried herbs, and sugar, and cook for 1 minute before covering with the chopped tomatoes.

Stir well and bring to a simmer. Cover with a lid and cook over a low heat until thickened, 6-8 minutes.
