Method
Step 1

Heat the oil in a deep frying pan and add the onion. Fry over a gentle hear, stirring until it begins to soften.

Step 2

Add the mushrooms and leeks and continue to cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, until the mushrooms are starting to brown.

Step 3

Add the garlic and stir through before adding the tinned tomatoes. Fill the tin with cold water and add that too.

Step 4

Finally, add the tomato puree, herbs and allspice and stir thoroughly. Put a lid on the pan and allow to simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes until the tomatoes have cooked down to create a thick sauce.

Step 5

Season with salt and pepper and stir in the fresh parsley. Serve warm with bread and feta or rice.
