      This is an excellent winter recipe. I’ve been making it for years. It is also adaptable so you can leave out an ingredient if you don’t have it and add in others. It always tastes good. I do fry the onions and garlic before adding them and I add a teaspoon of honey which I usually do when using tinned tomatoes. Black pepper also goes in.
