Warm olive and tomato sauce

This warm olive sauce goes well with boiled or steamed meat and fish. It also goes well with pasta, as it may remind of a marinara sauce.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive (black olives, pitted)
1⁄4 cup tomato (chopped)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons oregano (fresh leaves)
2 tablespoons water
  salt

Instructions

  1. Put olives, tomato and oregano, water and olive oil in the blender jar. Process until smooth. Season, if needed, and stir.
  2. Microwave on high (800-850W) for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Stand for 1 minute.

Notes

Substitute chopped tomatoes with the same amount tomato passata, or half the amount tomato puree + half amount of water.

Substitute 1 tablsepoon fresh oregano leaves with 1 teaspoon dried.

Less salt and pepper are needed when cooking in the microwave. Salt and pepper do not disperse in the food as in traditional cooking.
