Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil

- 5 pieces anchovy fillets
- 0.5 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
- 28 ounces, canned diced tomatoes
- 0.75 cups, roughly chopped pitted black olives

- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons (to taste) salt
- 0.25 teaspoons (to taste) ground black pepper

Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Add the anchovy fillets and crushed red pepper flakes to the skillet. Use a wooden spoon to mash the anchovies until they dissolve into the oil.

Step 5
Add the chopped olives, capers, parsley, and oregano to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
