Thread: Sir Burr's most excellent Bolognaise

This is a very tasty recipe for spaghetti bolognaise. I'm going to take it for granted that everyone knows how to cook the spaghetti.
This recipe freezes well. It actually improves the taste if you do freeze it.
Serves 4 - 6.

Ingredients:-

500g of ground beef.

1 x Onion chopped as finely as you can.

4 x Big cloves of garlic, peeled and chopped as fine as you can.

2 x 400g tins of pulped tomatos, or, two cans of plum tomatos put in blender.

3 x Heaped tablespoons of tomato paste.

1 x Hand-full of mushrooms (any type) coarsely chopped.

10 x Black olives, stones removed and cut into coarse bits.

1 x Beef stock cube, dissolved in a small amount of boiling water.

3 x Tablespoons of olive oil.

3 x Heaped teaspoons of dried oregano.

3 x Heaped teaspoons of dried sweet basil.

1 x Level teaspoon of black pepper powder.

Directions.

Put the beef in a large pot and brown the meat on medium heat.

Fry onion and garlic together in the olive oil on high heat until browned (about 5 min).

When meat is browned and onions and garlic done, add to the beef.
Add all other ingredients and cook over a low heat for 30 to 35 minutes.
Do not cover while cooking, add a touch of water if necessary.
