Method
- Heat the oil in a lidded saucepan over a medium-high heat and fry the onions for 5-8 mins until translucent. Stir in the garlic, celery and carrots, and cook for 5 mins.
- Add the peppers, courgette and tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 mins or until thickened. Stir in the Tabasco to taste, then blitz with a stick blender to make a smooth sauce. Leave to cool before transferring to the fridge for up to 3 days or freezing for up to 3 months.
