This is a classic tomato and garlic sauce that's typically used to top enchiladas before baking.

Ingredients:

2 tsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
1 x 400g tin chopped tomatoes
½ tsp caster sugar
1 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp ground cinnamon

Method:

Set a small saucepan over medium heat. Once hot add the oil and use to fry the garlic for about 2 minutes, or until fragrant.

Add the chopped tomatoes, season with the caster sugar and plenty of salt and freshly-ground black pepper. Stir in the spices then bring to a gently simmer, stirring frequently.

Continue simmering, stirring often, for about 15 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.

Use the resultant sauce to pour over enchiladas before baking.
