Method

Cut cocktail tomatoes into halves.

Finely chop the jalapeño.

Heat olive oil in a pot. Add chopped fresh oregano – allow to simmer for 1 minute. Then add tomatoes, jalapeños, crushed garlic, salt, pepper and sugar. Let ingredients cook gently for 10-15 minutes.

Take off heat. Once cooled, blend together with a food processor or hand blender.

Can be used immediately as a sauce on pasta, on a pizza base or anything else that calls for a tomato based sauce. Alternatively, it can be put into containers and frozen for future use.
