Method

1: Brown mince in a medium sized saucepan that has been generously coated with cooking spray.

2: Add garlic, onion, carrots and celery, fry for 2 minutes stirring occasionally.

3: Add all remaining ingredients. Bring to the boil then reduce to a slow boil, cook until carrots are cooked to your liking.

Variations: Replace beef mince with either lean chicken or pork mince.

Or for vegetarian replace mince with 100g Quorn Plant Based mince. Add Quorn, plus add ⅓ cup water and 1 extra teaspoon of no-added-salt tomato paste at step 3.

Suitable to be frozen.

Dietitian's tip

I like Annette’s clever addition of lentils and extra vegetables to this Bolognaise. Lentils are an excellent source of Vitamin B, iron, magnesium, potassium and zinc. They are also a great source of plant based protein and fibre.
