Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover and cook for approximately 15 minutes at 180°C (350°F). Stir in 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and continue to simmer for an additional minute.
4. Cut 60g (1/2 cup) of sun-dried tomatoes into smaller pieces and stir them into the sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
5. To serve, sprinkle with pitted green or black olives and chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley or thyme. Serve the dish hot alongside cooked rice or pasta and a side salad.
