Instructions

Add oil to a large sauce pan on medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until soft, approximately 5 minutes.
Add carrot, celery & zucchini and cook for 5 minutes., next add the mushrooms and cook for 2-3 minutes, until they soften.
Then add the mince and crumble with a fork or wooden spoon until there are no clumps remaining. Stir through your chosen herb & spice mix and cook until the mince has browned approximately 10 minutes.
Finally, add the canned tomato and tomato paste and cook on low for 10 - 30 minutes (depending on how much time you have, the longer you cook it the more the mince will absorb the flavours).
Then it is ready to eat as is, or ready to add to another recipe.
