  • Flat leaf parsley 3g
  • Fresh thyme 5g

Method

  1. Cut a small cross in the base of each tomato and place in a heatproof bowl. Cover with boiling water. Stand for 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl of iced water. Stand for 1 minute. Drain. Peel and chop the tomatoes.
  2. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion, capsicum and celery. Cook, stirring, for 10 minutes or until softened. Add garlic, seasoning and thyme. Cook for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add tomatoes and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer. Season. Reduce heat to low. Cook for 50 minutes or until thickened. Stir in parsley.
