Recipe View 15 mins Simmer and Reduce: Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and the flavors to meld. This should take approximately 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Secure the lid tightly and pulse a few times before blending continuously until completely smooth. Repeat with remaining sauce if necessary.
