  • 2 onions, chopped
  • cooking oil
  • 2 tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • I oz / 25 g/ 1 tbsp flour stock
(serves 6)

Heat oil in a flame-proof casserole and fry the mince until it is just cooked, then remove it. Fry the carrots, onions and tomatoes in the same pan for a few minutes. Stir continuously to prevent sticking. Blend in the flour and cook for a few more minutes. Add the cooked mince. Cover with hot stock and simmer gently for about 45 minutes.
