Steps:

  • Heat a small amount of olive oil on a medium heat in a large pan. Add the bacon and onion. As the meat starts to cook, add the carrots, courgette, celery, and pepper
  • After 2-3 minutes, add the mince, mushrooms and garlic. Season well with salt and pepper. Cook until meat is browned.
  • Add a glass of red wine, and allow a few minutes for the wine to reduce slightly
  • Add the chopped tomatoes and halved cherry tomatoes. Add thyme, oregano, nutmeg, chilli flakes, paprika and stock pot
  • Stir well, then drop the heat to low, cover and leave for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
  • After 2 hours, uncover, increase the heat to medium, and allow some of the excess liquid to reduce for 5-10 minutes.
  • Use as part of your bolognese-based recipe immediately, or allow to cool before splitting into portions and chilling/freezing.
  • Can be stored for up to 4 days in the fridge, or 3 months in the freezer.
