Pasta Del Sol

It's pretty hot around lunchtime in Oman so i wondered if i could save some of my precious cooking fuel and instead harness the power of the sun. Here goes..

Ingredients:

1 black pot (colour important)

1 bag pasta

2 tomatoes - chopped

1 onion - chopped

1 clove garlic - chopped

1 tbsp olive oil

1 packet tomato paste

1 tbsp sugar

2 tsp mixed herbs

1 tin tuna in oil (optional)

1 litre of water

Over a flame fry the onions in the oil until soft.

Add tomatoes and reduce them down before adding the garlic and tomato paste.

Fry for one minute more and then add sugar, herbs and mix in the tin of tuna including oil.

Pour in water (preferably pre-warmed on back of bike), season, stir and then turn off the heat.

Place lid on pan and leave out in the midday sun.

45 minutes later...
