Ingredients

  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, finely diced
  • 2 celery sticks, finely chopped
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 large thyme sprig
  • large knob of butter
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp plain flour
  • 1 tsp Marmite (optional, but it does add colour and depth)

  • 1l vegetable stock (or chicken or beef stock, if you prefer)

Method

  1. Fry the veg and herbs in the butter for 10-12 mins until the vegetables start to brown. Scatter over the sugar and continue to cook until sticky and caramelised.

  2. Stir in the flour until sandy, then add the Marmite, if using, tomato purée and vinegar. Pour over the stock, then simmer everything together until you have a thickened sauce.
