Method

  1. 1

    Peel and halve the shallots. Slice the carrots. Halve or quarter the mushrooms depending on size.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil in a casserole pot. Fry the shallots and carrots over medium-high heat for 8 minutes until browned.

  3. 3

    Add the garlic and mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes until the mushrooms have released their liquid.

  4. 4

    Stir in the tomato purée, then pour in the red wine. Let it bubble for 2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add the stock, chestnuts and thyme. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 25 minutes until the sauce is rich and slightly thickened.

  6. 6

    Season well and serve over creamy mashed potato or buttered tagliatelle.
