Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

The actual cooking time in the recipe I have based this on requires that you cook the sauce for 3 hours. I have never been able to do that because it starts to catch on the bottom of the pan once the liquid has evaporated away. You can add water or stock if this happens.
