- Cook garlic in oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until golden, about 1 minute. Add spices and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in tomatoes (including juice), salt, and sugar and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until broken down, 20 to 25 minutes.
