Pizza Sauce

Tomato purée, olive oil, garlic and dried spices sit for hours to let the flavours blend in this interesting, uncooked pizza sauce. The thickness of the sauce depends on the amount of water used; it should be somewhat viscous.

• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1/2 tablespoon dried oregano
