knob of butter
salt
black pepper

- Melt the butter in a large pan and add the onion.
- Cook very gently until the onion is transparent.
- Add the tomatoes and continue cooking for a few minutes.
- Pour in the stock and allow to simmer for about 20 minutes.
- Remove from the heat, season and taste.
