  • Mutti Polpa Finely Chopped Tomatoes 400g
  • 5.00 gm caster sugar
  • 150ml vegetable liquid stock
  • 2 rosemary sprigs
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 20.00 ml salted capers, rinsed, drained
  • 5 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 bunch silverbeet, stalks and leaves separated, leaves roughly chopped, stalks cut into 3cm pieces
  • 50g pine nut

Instructions:
  • In a deep frypan over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons of oil. Add onion and a pinch of salt, sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
