Tomato Concasse Sauce

3 cloves garlic
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp basil
1/8 cup olive oil
1/4 tsp cloves
1 14 tsp salt
pinch cayenne pepper
2 medium tins tinned tomatoes in juice
1 tbsp honey
25g Pacific Harvest karengo fronds soaked n 1 cup boiling water

Chop garlic finely and saute with herbs and spices in olive oil, at the same time open tins of tomatoes, after a few minutes add tomatoes to pan through a sieve to catch the pulp, with a wooden spoon press the majority of the pulp through the sieve and place the remainder on a board and chop fine with a sharp knife, return the chopped pulp to the pan. This gives the sauce texture. Finally place soaked and drained karengo on a board and also chop finely, add to sauce, simmer for a few minutes and serve with pancakes. Parmesan cheese goes very well with this dish.
