  • 2 x 400g Tinned Tomatoes, with juice
  • 20g Fresh Basil
  • 3 tbsp Dry White Wine

Directions:

  1. Set up the large work bowl with the large chopping/mixing blade. Process the onion, fennel, garlic and oregano until finely chopped.
  2. Heat the oil in a saucepan over a medium heat, and add the onion & fennel mixture. Cook gently for 5 minutes, until the onions & fennel begin to soften and the oregano becomes fragrant.
