Peel the onion and chop it into small cubes. Place on a heated frying pan with vegetable oil. Cook over low heat until the onion is transparent.

Peel the carrots and rub them on a coarse grater. Add the onion to the pan and continue cooking for a few more minutes, remembering to stir.

Add tomato paste, salt and ground pepper and Provençal herbs. Mix well.

We dilute corn starch in water at room temperature.

Pour the starch into the pan and stir until it begins to thicken.
