Ingredients:
| 500g Mince1 Large Onion – choopped4 cloves garlic – crushed 1 Chilli – finely chopped (you can leave this out)1 cup beef stock ¼ cup tomato paste2 Tbs Origanum1 tin chopped peeled tomatoes2 Tbs Worchestershire sauce | Salt and pepper Parmesan cheese Spaghetti |
Method:
- Add a glug of olive oil to a pot and put it on hight. When the oil starts to smoke add the onion, cook until glassy. Add the garlic and chilli and cook until fragrant. About 1 minute.
- Now add the mince and mix well. Here you have two choices:
- Easy: Just keep stirring until the mince is graininy and has a nice brown colour, or
- Moderate skil: Push the mince down with a potato masher and let it cook until the mince is a deep, dark brown (not black). Then flip it over – like a giant patty – and repeat. The dark brown colour gives is an amazing depth of flavour.
- Now add the tomato puree and stir well. Then add the tinned tomatoes, origanum, stock and Worchestershire sauce. Stir well.
- Allow to cook for at least 30 minutes with the lid off. Ideally you want to cook it for about 2 hours, lid on, anything inbetween will work but longer cooking leads to more flavour.
Add a spoon of bolognese to the spaghetti, top with fresh parmesan and serve.
Cook the spaghetti according to the packet.
Place the spaghetti in a bowl, add ground black pepper and parmesan.
