    This isn't a meal as such, but is an essential starting point for anyone learning to cook. All you need is a few ingredients and you have got a really useful and versatile sauce which you use with pasta, spread on bruschetta or pizza bases.

    You can also blitz it up, add some veg stock a have as a tomato soup. It’s also a good starting point for any stew or curry.

    The ideas is to make this sauce up to 24 hours in advance (keep it covered in the fridge and rewarm as needed), because the flavors improve with time.

    ...and it's cheap to make!

    Ingredients
    1 tin (400g) Chopped Tomatoes
    2 tbsp Olive Oil
    2 Garlic Cloves
    1 tsp Fish Sauce
    1 tbsp Hendersons Relish

    Instructions
    1. Heat the oil in a large pan and gently fry the grated garlic until slightly browned.

    2. Pour in the tomatoes and add the Hendersons and Fish Sauce. Stir and cook gently for about 30 minutes, until reduced to a thick sauce.

    3. Season with salt & pepper. – If you are feeling posh, you can toss in a few basil leaves!!!
