Method

Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Add the fillet pieces, onion, mushrooms, rosemary and garlic, and fry for 5 mins, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften. Stir through the tinned tomatoes, chopped tomatoes, tomato purée, white wine vinegar and olives. Bring to the boil and simmer for 10 mins, stirring occasionally, until starting to thicken and piping hot. Add a splash of water if the sauce becomes too thick; you want it so it’s just holding its shape when stirred.
Top the cacciatore with the parsley and a generous grind of black pepper and serve with toasted ciabatta and rocket on the side.

*Make sure your white wine vinegar is vegan, if required.
