Ingredients

2 large onions, chopped
3 tbsp groundnut oil
400ml passata
3 x 400g tins chopped tomatoes
200ml white wine vinegar
4 tbsp dark brown sugar
2 tsp sea salt
15 twists of a grinder black peppercorns

Method

STEP 1
Cook the onions in the oil for 10-15 minutes or until softened and golden. Add all the remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, then reduce to the lowest heat and simmer, uncovered, for 2 hours. Blend with a stick blender and store in sterilised jars in the fridge for 2-3 weeks. Use as a condiment or brush onto chicken or ribs for the final 5 minutes of cooking for a spicy glaze.
