- Add the tomatoes to the pan, season to taste and allow to cook for a couple of minutes.
- Pour in the wine and allow to reduce by half, then add the stock or water and bring to the boil.
- Reduce that heat and leave to simmer for 15 minutes until all of the vegetables are completely tender and the liquid has slightly reduced and thickened. Season to taste.
