Instructions

Heat your biggest pan on high heat to ensure a good sear on your vegetables, then sauté vegetables until they start to soften. Add spices and give it a little toss. Add stock and tomato sauce and bring down to a simmer. Reduce until there’s almost no liquid left. Remove from heat, stir in butter and add salt if necessary. It’s even better warmed up for breakfast the next day.
