Spanish tomato sauce
Description
Minimum ingredients — excellent result. If desired, when preparing the sauce, you can add ground chili pepper or a whole chili pepper pod, removing it after cooking to prevent the dish from becoming overly spicy. If the sauce tastes too bitter, it's better to let it cool. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
