Author Notes

This recipe goes together in mere minutes (seconds?) from pantry ingredients.  It makes a chunky Chicago style pizza topping - sauce is a stretch.  We love this, especially when fresh tomatoes aren't in season.  Roll out your pizza dough, brush with garlic oil, top with cheese then this "sauce" and other favorite ingredients.  While its reminiscent of a sauce served on a thick crust Chicago style pizza, it works well on all kinds of pizza crusts.

Ingredients

1 can, 28 ounces, diced tomatoes, well drained
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 teaspoons balsamic or red wine vinegar (optional)
salt to taste (I usually don't use any as there plenty in the rest of the pizza)

Instructions

Makes About 2 Cups

Mix all ingredients together.  For best result, put down a layer of cheese on pizza, then top with these seasoned tomatoes.  See Related Features and Related Recipes below for lots more on making fabulous pizza at home.
