- Add the cooking cream.
- Cook the mixture with a lid on the pan until all the vegetables are cooked. this can take at least 15 to 25 minutes. Keep an eye on the amount of moisture in your jug every now and then. If this becomes too little you can always add some water.
- When the vegetables are cooked, remove the sage from the mass with tongs or tweezers.
