    1

    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.

    3

    Pour in the white wine and cook until the alcohol has evaporated, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and diced tomatoes.

    4

    Stir in the green olives, capers, and raisins. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
