Place all the ingredients in a blender, except the extra virgin olive oil.
A high-quality can of tomatoes in sauce or puree, can be used in place of the strained tomatoes but make sure to thin it out-or drain it if too thin, so it has the consistency of regular ketchup. A tomato paste may work as well, but do thin it out. You may have to adjust the spices and other ingredients as well. Makes 1 cup.
