Tips
Thick sweet soy sauce (oriental supermarket) is added for the sugar to react with the acid in the tomatoes and it helps give a hickory flavour, you can leave this out for diabetics. Can be served as a main and freezes well, the flavour will actually improve if you freeze and re-heat. I plan to serve mine with nachos when I have friends round to watch the world cup, come on England!

My Mum, who spent her childhood in Mexico, used to cook a pork based version. She used to add some (a couple of teaspoons) oregano to hers, and the aroma is magically enhanced.
Mmmmmm...I'll have to cook up a batch tonight.....
