Preparation Steps
1
Prepare the ingredients: finely chop the red onion, garlic, and ginger. Rinse the capers under cold water to remove excess salt, then roughly chop.
2
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until translucent.
3
Add the garlic and ginger to the saucepan and sauté, stirring constantly, for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
4
Pour in the tomato purée, then add the white wine vinegar, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir all ingredients thoroughly to combine.
5
Add the chopped capers, then reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
6
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with more salt, sugar, or vinegar if needed. For a smoother consistency, blend the sauce using an immersion blender.
7
Let the sauce cool, then transfer to a clean, airtight jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
