Tomato and chili sauce

This is pretty feisty - make at your peril!

Ingredients
2 bags of tomatoes (roughly 10-12)
heaped tablespoon of hot chili powder
2 large onions
2 peppers (I used orange and red last time)
3-4 cloves of garlic
1 teaspoon of paprika
1-2 tablespoons of salt
3-4 tablespoons of palm oil
1 stock cube of choice (I used vegetable last time I made this)

Blend onions until fine
Fry onions -  in pressure cooker without lid on -  gently in palm oil for about 10 minutes
Add garlic (chopped for stronger flavour, crushed otherwise) for 5 minutes
Add paprika and chili - fry off for 5 minutes
Add stock cube
Blend tomatoes and peppers until roughly chopped
Add tomatoes and peppers to onions and stir in
Add lid to pressure cooker and bring to max pressure
Turn heat down to minimum and cook for 30minutes to 1 hour (less means fresher, rawer tomatoes)
Season to taste

Serve 2 ladles of sauce with rice

We normally make a batch of this and it will last us about 3-4 days (2 people)
