The techniques and safety points this recipe uses, explained from scratch.

Simmer vs boil — what the bubbles tell youShow

A boil is big bubbles rolling hard across the whole surface. A simmer is much gentler: small bubbles rising lazily, a few breaking the surface. Stews, sauces and soups simmer; boiling makes meat tough and sauces catch on the bottom.

  1. Bring it up to the boil on a higher heat, then turn the heat down until the bubbling calms to a gentle simmer.
  2. Check every few minutes and adjust — a lid on makes it hotter, a lid off lets it thicken.
  3. Stir now and then, scraping the bottom, so nothing sticks and burns.

Ready when: Small, steady bubbles — not a still surface, not a rolling boil.

Thickening a sauce by cooking it downShow

Letting a sauce bubble with the lid off lets water escape as steam, so it gets thicker and tastier.

  1. Take the lid off and keep it at a lively simmer.
  2. Stir every minute or two, scraping the bottom — it catches more easily as it thickens.
  3. Season at the END, because the salt concentrates as the liquid goes.

Ready when: It coats the back of a spoon, and a line drawn through it with your finger stays clear.
