6 servings
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 red bell pepper, finely diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 1 tsp sweet smoked paprika
Ingredient noteDried smoked paprika can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the small amount in this recipe—about 1/4 teaspoon per serving—is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid smoked paprika, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- ½ tsp salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Ingredient noteDried black pepper can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the small amount in this recipe—about a pinch per serving—is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 tsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wide saucepan over medium-low heat until it shimmers. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until completely softened and the onion is translucent with no raw bite, about 12–15 minutes.
- 2
Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant and just beginning to turn golden at the edges, about 1–2 minutes. Watch closely, as garlic can brown quickly.
