Simple but tasty bolognese

Method

• step 1

  Add a small amount of oil to a frying pan / large saucepan

• step 2

  Add the mince to the pan and brown - Make sure to keep stirring, so the pan doesn't catch

• step 3

  Add the onion and the garlic to the pan until the onion starts to brown

• step 4

  Add the tin of tomatoes - I like to further chop the tomatoes down so it's more of tomato sauce whereas my mum prefers to keep them chunky, so it's all down to your preference

• step 5

  Season with salt & pepper, and the mixed herbs to taste - I like to add a generous amount, so you can see the herb flecks throughout the Bolognese but not so much it's all you taste

• step 6

  Add the vegetable stock and stir in

• step 7

  Add a generous dash of Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce

• step 8

  Add the lid to the saucepan / cover the frying pan (a baking tray works fine) and leave to simmer and reduce, until you have a thick Bolognese - this can take anywhere from 30-45 mins I have found
