Tomato Sauce

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic cut in half
6 plums tomatoes, halved lengthwise
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried mint

Warm the oil in a small sauté pan over medium heat. Add garlic, tomatoes, oregano, and mint. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Uncover and break up tomatoes with a wooden spoon. Stir to mix well. Re-cover and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, force the tomato mixture through a sieve set over a small bowl. If serving hot, reheat gently.

Makes about 1 cup (8 fl oz/250 ml)
