Peel the onion and garlic and dice both into small cubes. Dice the tomatoes as well. Cut the chili pepper into small rings. Heat olive oil in a large pot and sauté the onions for 3 minutes. Then add the garlic and chili rings and fry everything for another 3 minutes. Deglaze with the white wine, add the diced tomatoes, and stir in the honey and dried spices. If you don’t want any alcohol in the sauce, you can add the same amount of water. Of course, you can also use fresh herbs instead of the dried ones, or use a ready-made pizza seasoning mix. Now let the sauce simmer for 30-45 minutes, stirring frequently, until the desired consistency is reached. If desired, you can season it with salt and pepper. The sauce can be eaten hot or cold. With a dash of cream cheese, it makes a wonderful creamy pasta sauce or, for example, as a spread on tortillas and burritos. It is versatile.
