Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, diced
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 lb tomatoes, diced
150ml vegetable stock
2 tsp tomato puree
1 bay leaf

Notes

You can also make this using 2 tins of tomatoes (in this case you won't need the stock).

Method

Heat the olive oil in a pan. Add the onion and fry for 5 minutes.

Add the garlic, tomatoes, stock, tomato puree and bay leaf. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Cool slightly and remove the bay leaf, then whizz in a blender or rub through a sieve. Reheat gently in a pan. That's it!
