As I said in a previous post this is a recipe that I got out of the Jackie Magazine and have been making for the last 40+ years:eek: It is gorgeous eaten straight away but IF you can wait 24hrs it gets all fudgey in the middle. It will keep for 2-3 weeks if kept in an airtight container, but I have to own up, it never last longer than 3-4 days in my house!:p ...

Thanks kingshir! :T I've added this to the recipe list on the front page of the grocery challenge thread

If you freeze them first, it's even easier

Excellent! I've just been given some toms from my in-laws garden. Too many to eat raw, but not really enough for a decent amount of sauce, so I'll bung them in the freezer until my in-laws give me some more!

I make tom sauce a lot at home in lots of formats - as I say, I was just curious to see his recipe

I sympathise. They look cool but we don't get a lot of light in here. Have to have the lights turned on in the day and the corner where the pc is is pretty dark...

I´ve got one of those USB LED flexible computer lights, it really makes a difference. It was only 1.69 with free postage

How did others find the rice part of it?

Well I didn't have chilli flakes, so used powder. Mine was [STRIKE]blow the mouth off you hot[/STRIKE] anything but tasteless :eek::rotfl::D

I do agree there was loads though - did us two dinners and a lunch each too!

i halved the rice recipe and it was plenty for 3 people. I left out the mushrooms (hubby doesn't like them) and probably added a little more spice and it went down well with my lot, hubby said it was alot lighter than the rice we usually have.
