Method

  1. Heat the oil in a deep frying pan over a low heat. Add the onion, garlic, ginger, bay leaf, peppercorns, star anise and crushed chillies; cook gently for 10 mins, stirring occasionally.
  2. Add the tomatoes, vinegar and sugar and season. Increase the heat to high and cook, stirring regularly until the tomatoes have broken down and the sauce has thickened, so that it leaves a clear trail if you draw a spoon through it along the bottom of the pan.
  3. Spoon into sterilised jars while hot (if not eating on the same day) or leave to cool before serving. Remove the whole spices before eating. Will keep for 2 weeks in the fridge.
    • Tip

      To sterilise glass jars, wash in hot, soapy water and rinse well. Dry in the oven for 15-20 mins at gas 1, 140°C, fan 120°C until hot and completely dry. Boil metal lids and rubber seals for 10 mins, then leave to dry.
