Method:

  4. Finally add the garlic and allow to infuse at a reduced heat for 2-3 minutes, before transferring the mixture to a large pot.
  5. Add the tomatoes, puree and stock to the pan and heat for 2-3 minutes before adding in the chopped nuts.
  6. Combine both mixtures in the pot, snap the bay leaf in half and mix it into the sauce.
