Cook Time 50 mins* + Oven Time of  90 mins

Prep Time 30 Mins*

*The quoted times are an estimated and may vary based upon your experience & chosen ingredients.

1) Set your oven to 180 C/Gas mark 4, spread your mince on an oven tray lined with kitchen foil (if you don’t have foil it just means more washing up).  Cook for a total of 40mins, turning & breaking up the mince every 10mins.  At the end you will have cooked off the fat and the mince should have a crumbly texture like large coffee granules.

2) During the cooking of the mince you can prepare your other ingredients & start cooking them.  Open your tinned tomatoes and decant into a bowl or dish.  If using wine pour your wine equally into the cans and swirl to clean the sides then set aside (it not use red wine stock or water).  Prepare your veg or if available use frozen veg.

3) Meanwhile pour some olive oil into a large oven proof pot (if available) cook off your carrots, celery & onion until soft but not coloured.  This should take about 10mins.  Once cooked transfer to a bowl.
