Ingredients
1 x 800 g (1 lb 12 oz) can Italian peeled tomatoes, broken up with your fingers
2 x 425 g (15 oz) cans tuna in oil, drained
250 g (9 oz) freshly shelled peas
50 g (2 oz) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons virgin olive oil
1 large Spanish onion, chopped
2–3 cloves garlic, chopped
3 medium carrots, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
Bunch Italian flat-leaf
Parsley, chopped
1 fresh bay leaf
5 fresh sage leaves
140 g (4½ oz) tomato paste
12 anchovies
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
This wintry dish is traditionally served with polenta, for soaking up the delicious juices. It is also great served with mashed potatoes.
Heat the butter and oil in a large saucepan and sauté the onion until softened, then add the garlic, being careful not to let it brown. Add the carrots, celery and herbs and cook for a further few minutes.
Add the tomato paste and anchovies and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and turn the heat down to low. Put a lid on the pan and cook for 30 minutes, stirring from time to time. Put the tuna in the pan, breaking it into bite-sized pieces with the spoon, and add the peas. Cook until the peas are tender (about 10 minutes).
Taste the stew for salt and pepper, discard the bay leaf, and serve.

Hot Tips
Salting an eggplant
Salting an eggplant is only necessary if the eggplant is over-mature and is to be fried (salting the eggplant stops it absorbing too much oil). If this is the case sprinkle the eggplant with salt and leave to drain in a colander for 20 minutes. Rinse quickly to remove salt before cooking.
