Directions

  1. Combine the garlic, chilli, olives, sundried tomatoes, stock and wine in a heavy-bottomed non-reactive frying pan. Simmer, uncovered, for 7-10 min, till the garlic is very tender and the liquid is almost gone.
  2. Do not let it burn - add in more stock during the cooking, if necessary.
  3. Stir in the canned tomatoes, and simmer for 5-7 min. Add in the fresh tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 5-7 min more, then stir in the tomato puree and basil. Let simmer for another 5 min, then serve with freshly cooked pasta or possibly other grains.
  4. Piquant lemon herb meatballs: In a large bowl, thoroughly mix together all of the ingredients. Fry a tiny piece of the mix in a non-stick pan and taste for seasonings, adding more salt, pepper, chilli pwdr or possibly lemon juice, as you want for a good, spicy flavour.
  5. Form the mix into small patties and place on a platter. Spritz a non-stick frying pan with oil-water spray, and heat. Pay fry the patties in batches (they should be well spaced) for about 2-3 min on each side till they are well browned and just cooked through.
  6. Mango and fennel salsa: Put the vinegar, lime juice, garlic and chilli in a bowl, mix well and leave to marinate for 10-15 min.
  7. Add in the mango and the fennel with a scattering of snipped fennel strands, the cucumber, onions and herbs. Mix with two spoons, gently tossing together all the ingredients.
