Recipe Bolognese Sauce

Ingredients :

• 500 grams beef mince
• 1 large onion chopped
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 1 tablespoon sweet mild paprika
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 1 handful fresh basil leaves
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian herb mix (optional)
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 4 cloves
• 400 g can of crushed/chopped tomatoes
• 500 ml passata
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1/4 cup red wine (optional)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Method :

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large saucepan on a medium heat then add the onion and garlic until the onion softens.
2. Add the mince and stir through the onion. Raise the heat to medium high to brown the mince and ensure all large clumps are split apart.
3. Add the paprika, rosemary, parsley and all dried herbs to the mince, stir through and cook for 1-2 minutes.
4. Add the crushed tomatoes, passata and tomato paste to the mince and stir through.
5. Add the cloves, cinnamon stick, wine and last tablespoon of olive oil to the sauce mixture and stir through.
6. Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan and simmer for around 3 hours. Stir occasionally and ensure the sauce thickens and the excess water evaporates.
7. Just before the sauce is served add the basil and stir it through. Serve with pasta or rice.
