Recipe View Before serving, remove the bay leaf and any large pieces of garlic. Serve hot.

For a richer sauce, consider adding a tablespoon of tomato paste along with the fresh tomatoes.
If you don't have pimento-stuffed olives on hand, Kalamata olives or other brine-cured olives work well, though the flavor profile will change slightly.
Saffron rice is a classic accompaniment, but couscous, polenta, or crusty bread are also excellent choices for soaking up the flavorful sauce.
