[edit] Ingredients
3 |
tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil |
1 |
small onion finely chopped |
2 |
garlic cloves minced |
2 |
ounces can tomato sauce - (8 ea) |
3 |
ounces can green peas - (16 ea) drained, and |
|
liquid reserved |
|
Freshly-ground black pepper to taste |
1 |
teaspoon cinnamon |
|
Kosher or sea salt to taste |
[edit] Preparation
Step 1 |
Heat oil in wide pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until golden, about 5 minutes. Add tomato sauce and 1 cup liquid from peas. Bring to boil uncovered and cook sauce 5 minutes. |
Step 2 |
Add peas, reserving any additional liquid. Return to boil, then reduce heat and simmer 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until peas are very soft and sauce is thickened. |
Step 3 |
Midway through cooking, add generous grindings of pepper. Shortly before peas are done, add cinnamon and some salt (the predominant flavors should be sweet and spicy). If sauce gets too thick during cooking, add reserved liquid from peas. |
