Chunky Pizza Sauce

I like a thick, chunky pizza sauce with more flavors than just tomato. I couldn't find a recipe like this, so i combined bits from two or three others and made my own.

Steps

---

Heat oil in a dutch oven.

---

Saute onions , peppers and garlic , stirring often , until soft.

Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.

I usually make one pizza and freeze the other half for next time.
