The most all-round, useful and generally pleasing thing to have in your fridge or freezer; our Bolognese - in this instance beef, for the non-pork eaters. It is classically simple, relying on gentle, slow cooking to bring out the inherent sweetness of its carrot, onion and celery base, then a long simmer with tomatoes, herbs and red wine till it's thick and rich. There's a few dinners sorted then!
Beef mince, onion, carrot, celery, garlic, red wine, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, bay leaves, thyme, lemon zest, salt, pepper.
