Method

Put the butter and oil in a saucepan and heat gently. Throw in the shallots and let them soften over a gentle heat until they are a pale golden colour. Add the diced tomatoes, garlic, bouquet garni, tomato purée and sugar. Cook gently for 20 minutes, remove the bouquet garni and garlic, season the sauce with salt and pepper and keep it ready for use.
