Ingredients
- 1 punnet of fresh cherry tomatoes
- 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped (or garlic paste as an alternative)
- 1/2 stock cube
- 1 tsp dried mixed herbs
Method
- Slice the tomatoes and put them in a small-medium saucepan
- Put them on a low heat and add boiling water so that the tomatoes are not quite covered
- Put a lid over them and begin to simmer
- After 2 minutes, add the garlic, stir, and replace the lid
- After another 2 minutes, add the stock cube, stir, and replace the lid
- Once the tomatoes have begun to really boil down, mix in the dried mixed herbs
- Stir well and take off the heat once they have reduced to your desired level. If you'd like small chunks of tomato in your sauce, take off the heat earlier.
- Serve and enjoy!
