Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Blending hot liquid. Let it cool a little first, fill the blender no more than a third, and hold the lid down with a folded towel. Start on the lowest speed. A stick blender in the pan is safer.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Saute shallot, garlic and bell pepper in butter until soft. Add red wine and half of the cilantro and simmer until reduced by half. Add the tomatoes and simmer slowly for about 15 minutes or until slightly thickened. Add the rest of the cilantro, blend mixture until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
