• ou don't need too much to season here, just a little oregano, cayenne powder and ground cloves. Despite the addition of cayenne powder this dish isn't spicy at all. It adds a very faint punch that's not overly detectable. Feel free to kick up the spice a bit if you prefer things a little spicier or even omit it altogether if you're extra sensitive to spice.
• Cook that mixture for a minute or so and then add in the vegetable stock and the crushed tomatoes. Let that simmer and cook for about 5-10 minutes. In this time the tomato mixture will thicken and reduce down slightly. You can taste and season adding a little salt and pepper as needed.
