800g good, tinned peeled plum tomatoes (San Marzano are the best but tricky to find)
1 medium sweet yellow onion
Spaghetti, to serve
5tbsp butter
Salt, to taste (up to 1¼ tsp)
METHOD
Peel the onion and chop in half. Add the tomatoes, onion, butter and salt in a medium-sized, heavy saucepan over a medium heat. When the tomatoes start to bubble, reduce the heat to slow, steady simmer. Stir every 10-15 mins until the tomatoes are no longer watery and the sauce has reduced, about 45 minutes depending on the size and shape of your saucepan. The sauce is ready when the butter has separated from the tomatoes and there is no remaining liquid.
Discard the onions (or eat if you wish, they're tasty!) and serve with spaghetti.
Vietnamese rice papers are essential for this first course. You could fill these rolls with shredded duck or leftover roast pork if you prefer. The key is to have a mass of fresh herbs and lots of dipping sauce.
FOR THE DIPPING SAUCE:
60g palm sugar
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 small Thai chillies, finely chopped
3cm piece root ginger, peeled and grated
4 tablespoons fish sauce
Juice of 3 limes
FOR THE MARINATED PRAWNS:
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon sweet soy sauce or ketjap manis
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
500g raw, peeled prawns
FOR THE SPRING ROLLS:
1 iceberg lettuce, finely sliced
2 avocados, halved, stoned, peeled and finely sliced
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded and cut into fine julienne strips
25g fresh coriander, roughly chopped
25g mint leaves, roughly chopped
12 large rice wrappers (22cm diameter)
METHOD
For the dipping sauce, in a bowl, dissolve the palm sugar in 4 tablespoons boiling water. Stir in the remaining dipping-sauce ingredients and set aside.
For the prawn marinade, mix together the fish sauce, sweet soy sauce and vegetable oil. Stir in the prawns and leave for 15 minutes. Heat a wok or frying pan and stir-fry the prawns for 3-4 minutes until pink and firm. Leave to cool.
For the spring rolls, place the lettuce, avocados and cucumber in separate bowls. Mix the coriander with the mint and place in another bowl. To assemble, soak a rice paper in cold water for 20-30 seconds until it starts to soften. Place on a damp, clean tea towel. Scatter a few prawns in the centre, top with a little lettuce, sliced avocado, cucumber and a generous scattering of the herbs. Tuck in 2 sides (to form the closed ends of the rolls), then, starting from one of the other sides, roll up the wrapper and place on a serving dish.
Cover with another damp tea towel while you make the rest. Serve 2 rolls per person with the dipping sauce on the side. If you prefer a more informal first course, you could present all the spring-roll ingredients in bowls on the table and let guests assemble their own rolls.
