(serves four)
3 tbsps butter
1 white onion, roughly chopped
4 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 lb mushrooms, any sort you like, roughly chopped
4 cups-ish fresh chicken stock
2 tbsps brandy
1 tbsp fresh chopped thyme leaves
fresh rocket, about a cup loosely packed
1/2 cup single cream
salt and pepper to taste
The rest couldn’t be simpler. Saute the onions, garlic and mushrooms in the butter until slightly softened, then pour over the stock and brandy, simmer until mushrooms are soft. Add the thyme and rocket and cook just until rocket wilts, then whizz with your hand blender (I had to buy one in a nearby town!) and add the cream. Season to taste. Divine!

1 tbsp sweet paprika
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tbsp salt
fresh ground pepper to taste
5 extra tbsps fresh chopped flat-leaf parsley
In a very large, heavy-bottomed deep saucepan, saute the garlic and onion in the oil and add the tomatoes, breaking them up with your hands as you put them in. In my humble opinion, there is no place in this life for tinned chopped tomatoes. Don’t you wonder what sort of tomatoes they use when they know they can get away with them not looking like a tomato? Just buy whole and break them up during the cooking process, I say. Add the spices and the parsley.
This sauce must simmer for at least two hours, but it can sit almost indefinitely.
About an hour before you want to serve the dish, drop…
