Directions:
- 1Chop everything roughly.
- 2Add oil and onion to a hot pan over medium heat. Followed by garlic, then carrots. Cook for a few minutes before adding all of the other ingredients.
- 3Stir everything through.
- 4Cover and cook for 60 minutes or until soft.
- 5Remove the bay leaves and any herb stems and blitz into a sauce.
- 6Pour into airtight containers such as sterilised jars* and save for dinners down the line such as pizzas, pastas and toasties.
*Tip: If sauce is still warm when you pour into glass jars, leave a bit of space (around 1 cm) and turn the jar upside down when you pop in the fridge or freezer. As the sauce cools, the steam in that little gap will help create a bit of a vacuum seal on your jar!
