Sweet and sour sauce recipe:

Method:

1. Start by toasting the cashew nuts. Place the nuts in a frying pan with no oil. Dry fry for a few minutes, turning all the time. Pour the nuts onto a plate to cool down before they brown too much - remember, because of the high fat content, nuts will continue to cook for a minute or so after you have removed them from the heat.
2. Mix together the tomato sauce, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce and sherry. Keep aside.
3. Mix the vegetable stock with the cornflour and keep aside.
4. Fry the red and green bell peppers in a little oil until the slices are tender.
5. Add the sweet and sour sauce mixture. Add the butternut cubes.
6. Slowly add the vegetable stock and allow the sauce to reduce so that it thickens - this will take a few minutes.
7. Serve alongside rice. Just as you serve, sprinkle the toasted cashew nuts over the top.
