+ 2 tsp dried oregano | |
+ 2 tsp salt | |
+ 2 tsp sweet paprika powder | |
+ 2 bay leaves | |
+ Oil for frying | |
+ Optionally chili powder to taste | |
+ Optionally 200-300mL cream | |

optionally chili powder. | |

+ Simmer for as long as you want - it doesn't have to be very | |
long, but apparently it becomes better if you simmer it for | |
a longer period of time. | |
+ Take out bay leaves and purée the rest with a stick blender | |
so you get a nice sauce. | |

+ Optionally add cream. I find that it tastes better with cream, | |
but you may have a different opinion. The image at the top is | |
with cream. | |
+ Notes | |
* I guess this could also be in the section "Sauces", but I | |
consider it to be a main meal, so it's here. | |
* Serve with whatever you want, but preferably not spaghetti | |
because that is evil. |
