  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra to brush
  • 2 garlic cloves

    Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a large, deep frypan over medium heat. Crush one garlic clove and add to the pan with the onion. Cook for about 5 minutes or until soft. Add the tomato paste and stir for about 1 minute. Add the canned tomatoes and vinegar, pressing on the tomatoes with the back of a wooden spoon to break them up.
