How to make it

  • Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add onion and stir 30 seconds. Add garlic and stir 30 seconds.
  • Add tomato puree and cook 1 minute. Add bay leaves, parsley, oregano, and 1/4 cup reserved tomato juices. Simmer until sauce thickens, about 3 minutes.
  • Add olives, raisins, capers, and all remaining reserved tomato juices. Simmer until sauce thickens again, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes.
  • Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
