Method

Start with the preparation of the tomato sauce. Trim and chop the bacon rasher. Peel and finely chop the onion and carrot. Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the bacon rasher. When the fat begins to run from the bacon, add the onion and carrot, and fry gently for about 5 minutes. Wash and quarter the tomatoes, and add to the ingredients in the pan. Cover and cook gently for about 5 minutes,
