Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large pan, add the onion, carrot and celery, and sweat for 10 mins until soft. Add the beef and cook until it is browned all over.
  2. Add the tomato purée and cook for a few mins, then add the mushroom ketchup, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, herbs and a can full of water. Season well and bring to the boil.
  3. Simmer on a low heat for 40-45 mins until the sweet potatoes are tender, stirring a few times throughout cooking to make sure they are cooking evenly.
  4. Once cooked, remove the bay leaf, stir through the chopped parsley and serve with cabbage.

    Made this tonight, absolutely gorgeous. I added extra carrots and mushrooms to bring the veg count even higher and used 1 1/2 cups of veg stock, it was delicious! Served with crusty rolls and broccoli. Will definitely make again.

    Simple to make such a crowd pleaser for a mid week meal or after a cold walk.
