    Add Tomatoes: Add the diced tomatoes and stir well to combine with the aromatics.

    4

    Season: Pour in the lime juice and rice vinegar, then add the brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and cook over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the tomatoes have softened and the sauce has thickened.

    Purée (Optional): For a smooth sauce, use an immersion blender to purée the mixture. If you prefer a chunkier texture, leave it as is.
