Peas In Spicy Tomato Sauce

Recipe Ingredients

3 tablespoons	45ml	Extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon	15ml	Onion - finely chopped (small)
2		Garlic cloves - minced
2		Tomato sauce - (8 oz ea)
3		Green peas - (16 oz ea) - drained, and
		Liquid reserved
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
1 teaspoon	5ml	Cinnamon
		Kosher or sea salt - to taste

Recipe Instructions

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.

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.

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.
