  6. 6 Garlic cloves (Peeled and crushed)
  7. 75 g Tomato purée (tomato paste in USA/CAN)
  8. 125 ml Red wine
  9. 2 Beef stock cubes (bouillon cube) (Undiluted, crumbled)
  10. 2 tsp Dried oregano
  11. 3 Bay leaves
  12. Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  13. 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (or Henderson's Relish)
  14. 15 g Fresh basil (Finely chopped)

Instructions

  1. Put all of the slow cook ingredients into the slow cooker and cook for 6 hours on HIGH or 8 hours on LOW.
  2. Add the Worcestershire sauce and fresh basil.

  3. Optional:
