- 1 chicken stock cube use vegetable for vegetarian version
- white wine
- olive oil extra virgin

Instructions
- Take some cooking twine and tie the rosemary sprigs firmly into one bundle, leaving a long piece of string attached to the sprigs (about 1 foot in length).
- In a medium sauce pan over medium-high heat, soften the pumpkin onion and ginger in a little butter and oil.
- Add a splash of white wine and turn the heat up to high and reduce the wine until almost all the liquid is gone.
- Pour in the stock, the rosemary (tying the excess string to the handle of the pot) bring to the boil and reduce to simmer, for approx ½-¾ hr.
