Ingredients

  • 2 Carrots diced
  • 1 Onion diced
  • 2 Celery sticks diced
  • 4 Garlic cloves chopped
  • 1 tbsp Oregano or mixed herbs
  • 750 g Minced beef
  • 2 x 400g Tins of chopped tomatoes
  • 200 ml Beef stock
  • 2 tbsp Tomato paste
  • 80 g Parmesan grated plus extra for serving
  • 500 g Potatoes sliced to about 2-3mm thick

Instructions

  • Heat some oil in a large pan over a medium to high heat, cook the carrot, onion, and celery for about 5 minutes, or until it softens.
  • Add in the garlic, and oregano, then cook for a further minute.
  • Add the minced beef and then use a wooden spoon or a spatula to break it up. Cook, stirring often until it’s browned all over.
  • Pour in the tins of tomatoes, beef stock, and add the tomato paste. Stir well, then simmer for at least 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile preheat the oven to 200C Fan.
  • Once the Bolognese has been simmering for a while, add in the grated parmesan and stir it through. Taste for seasoning.
  • Transfer the Bolognese into an oven proof dish. Then layer the sliced potatoes all over the top.
  • Drizzle over some olive oil, then bake for 45 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and crisp.
  • Serve with more grated parmesan and some seasonal veggies.
