2 tins chopped tomatoes

3/4lb Mushrooms - open cup or button - upto you

1 or 2 Chick stock cubes

5ml spoon of sugar -Opt

Hot chilli powder to you're taste (I likes it Hot!)

Italian herbs 1 or 2 Tbl spoons

Glass or few of good dry white wine

Tbl spoon of Tomato puree,

If it needs thickening use corn flour or arrow root,

 

large sauce pan,

Add oil -Enough to cover Btm of Pan

Add -

When soft enough Add

Chopped Tomatoes, Sugar, Stock cubes, Herbs and Mushrooms then stir till it bubbles-Then

Add

The Chilli powder and let it all simmer for 15ish mins with the lid on

Add the Wine and back to simmer for 10mins - lid on

when this is done Turn off the heat and prep Woodies breasts

When you've done the above breasts turn heat back on and drop in the meat and

simmer again for 20ish mins

We have this with batsami rice or linguine and it's Beautiful

if you do try this don't forget to put the rice on in good time

but you could have it with pasta or Spaghetti

Lez,

welcome to the forum and thanks for the recipe. I may be a bit thick, but, I got a bit lost towards the end of the recipe: would you be kind to add some detail on the bit about 'prepare the breasts'? do you pan fry them lightly and then add to the sauce, or do you just add them to the mixture raw for a few minutes and cook the lot together?

 

best wishes,
