delicious with red meat, but also with pasta, suitable both in winter and for grilling

Finely chop the onion and garlic. Sauté in a little olive oil in a pan until browned. Deglaze with red wine, bring to a boil briefly, and then add the water. Add the tomato paste, the ground spices, a little sugar, 2 pinches of salt, and a good handful of raisins. Bring to a boil once, then simmer over medium heat. If it lacks acidity, season with a little dark balsamic vinegar and another small pinch of sugar. Since we’re cooking without stock, don’t skimp on the salt—you’ll need the 2 pinches of salt. The sauce is enough for about 3 servings of meat.
