Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Place the onions, carrots, celery and thyme in a large flameproof roasting tin. Toss together with the oil, lightly season and roast for 20 mins.
  2. Stir through the tomato purée and cook in the oven for a further 15-20 mins until the vegetables are a little charred.
  3. Put the roasting tin on the hob over a medium heat. Stir in the flour until well incorporated, pressing down on the vegetables to extract as much flavour as possible, then pour over the wine, if using, and cook until evaporated.
  4. Pour in the stock and stir through 1 tsp Marmite. Bring up to the boil and cook for 10-15 mins more until the mixture starts to thicken. Strain through a sieve and add another tsp of Marmite to taste.
