EASY SAVOURY MINCE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a shallow casserole dish or saute pan that has a tightly fitting lid. Add the onion and cook for a fry for a few minutes, then add the garlic and cook for another minute or so, until starting to turn golden.
• Add the mince to the onion to cook. It's best to do this in stages so that the mince has enough room in the pan to fry, rather than steam. Cook until all the meat is browned and there is no liquid left in the pan.
• Add the flour and stir in. Continue to cook, stirring all the time. Make sure nothing sticks to the bottom of the pan and burns.
• Add herbs, tomato puree and beef stock, together with wine and yeast/beef extract/ soy sauce / Worcestershire sauce if used. Stir briefly, and bring to a gentle simmer.
• Turn the heat right down and cover with the lid. The dish should be on a very gentle simmer. Leave for 20 minutes.
• After 20 minutes, it should be dark and glossy, with a rich, thick gravy. Add the frozen vegetables and cook for a further 5-8 minutes.
• Serve with potatoes, rice, pasta or on toast as a sloppy joe. Or allow to cool and freeze.
