Saute garlic in olive oil,just till it releases its flavor.
Stir in all other ingredients and bring to a low boil,reduce and simmer a few minutes.
Allow to come to room temperature and adjust salt and pepper to taste.

Like all sauces,I adjust the ingredients to what I have handy and who will be eating it.
