3. Stir in the San Marzano tomatoes and rosa tomatoes. Lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
4. Add the anchovies, capers with brine, grilled green olives with brine, black olives with brine and sultanas with 2 T sherry vinegar. Stir well and cook for another 10 minutes.
5. Add the smashed garlic and cook for 5 more minutes, stirring to ensure the garlic doesn’t burn. Remove from heat and stir in the reserved celery greens.
