Preparation

Step 1

Cube the onion and celery and grate the carrot.

Heat olive oil over a medium heat then add the veg. Stir well so everything is coated in oil and keep stirring until everything has softened.

Add the minced beef and sausage meat to the veg making sure the meat is broken up so there are no big chunks.

Mix the meat and veg together well and then cook until the meat is pretty much cooked all the way through.

Transfer the meat and vegetables to a cooking pot then stir in the tomatoes.

Heat over a medium heat until the sauce starts bubbling then turn to a low heat and simmer gently for a minimum of half an hour or up to a couple of hours.

Taste every so often and add a little salt if needed.
