  • 2 X 400g chopped tomatoes
  • few sprigs of rosemary or thyme (or both) chopped
  • 15g butter
  • 2 tsp sherry vinegar (8g)
  • salt and pepper
  • 1/2 tsp olive oil to garnish
  • parsley to garnish

Method

  1. Sweat the onion, anchovies, garlic and fresh herbs in the butter over a medium heat for about 5 minutes until soft.
  2. Add the vinegar and tomatoes.

Don’t skip the anchovies; they add a fullness to the taste. Use tinned mackerel or sardines as an alternative. Omega-3 goodness.
