American Sauce

Chop one fair sized peeled onion very fine, one green pepper and half a peeled clove, some garlic; season with a pinch of salt and three pinches of red pepper, together with half a wineglassful of good white wine. This should be reduced for two minutes, and add about a gill of tomato sauce, and a fair-sized peeled tomato, cut up into dice-shaped pieces. Cook for about ten minutes, and it is ready for use.
