Random Recipe

I made some spice-coated potatoes and dipping sauce the other night and, having modified the dipping sauce recipe a bit, I've discovered that it makes a fairly good (albeit slightly runny) pasta sauce.  It is as follows:

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 garlic clove, crushed
• 14 fl-oz. canned diced tomatoes (with juice)
• 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 2 fresh red chile peppers, seeded and thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp cilantro, chopped
• Salt and freshly ground pepper

Heat the oil in a saucepan, and add the onion and garlic.  Cook for 5-10 minutes, or until soft and golden.

Add the tomatoes, chile, and vinegar.  Cook over med. heat for approx. 10 minutes.  Season with salt and pepper, and add the cilantro.

The only downside?  My fingers still smell like garlic from that clove.
