Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
¼ cup finely chopped onion
-
3 tablespoons minced garlic, or more to taste
-
3 (14.5 ounce) cans tomato sauce
-
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
-
1 tablespoon red wine
-
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
-
1 tablespoon ground basil
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
-
1 teaspoon dried cilantro
-
1 teaspoon chili powder
-
1 teaspoon ground paprika
-
1 teaspoon ground oregano
-
2 large bay leaves
-
1 pinch white sugar
-
1 pinch ground cinnamon
Directions
-
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute onion and garlic in the hot oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a slow cooker.
-
Add tomato sauce and tomato paste to the slow cooker and set temperature to Low. Cook and stir until the paste melts, 3 to 4 minutes. Add wine, vinegar, basil, salt, pepper, cilantro, chili powder, paprika, oregano, bay leaves, sugar, and cinnamon; stir until well combined.
-
Cover, and cook, stirring once in a while, until reduced, 6 to 8 hours. Remove bay leaves and serve.
Cook's Notes:
You can also cook this in a large pot or Dutch oven instead of a slow cooker. Adjust cooking time as needed.
If you have to cook it longer don't worry, it'll be fine. I've done it up to 10 hours. If cooking in a hurry, let simmer on medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes so flavors will blend and the alcohol in the wine burns off.
