Introduction
This recipe is the basic for Three Tumbledown Recipes From the Braised Mince: Divide the braised mince into three which then makes:1. Mousaka - add slices of cooked potato on top of a roasting pan full of braised mince, then top with a cheese white sauce and cook for 200 degrees for about 25-35 minutes. Add grated or sliced carrots into the mince mix, or even peas, or any other vegetables you have lying around that need using up.
2. Bolognaise sauce
Chop up some onion, add tin of tomatoes and red wine if available and some mushrooms
3. Chilli con carne
Place a little bit of olive oil in a pan, throw in some chopped onions and chopped garlic. Add a teaspoon of chilli powder, a touch of cumin, some ground coriander and a teaspoon of smoked paprika. Add some red wine (a large glass). Let it reduce. Add a tin of chopped tomatoes, splash of Worcestershire sauce. Chop a few chillies and put those in. Add two large handful of chopped mushrooms. Add 1/3rd of the previous braised mince mix. Pour in some beef stock, probably about ½ pint to start with - you can always add a bit more later if it wasn't enough. Chuck in a tin of kidney beans. Place this on a gentle heat and simmer for 45 minutes. Serve with rice or tortilla wraps. (bake a chopped up tortilla wrap sprinkled with a spray oil and some salt to make tortilla chips homemade.)

Ingredients
-
• 1Kg minced beef
• 3 large onions, peeled and chopped
• 1 400g tin chopped tomatoes
• 3 beef stock cubes
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 6 cloves of garlic, peeled and chopped
• 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
Directions
Method:
1. Heat a large saucepan and add about half of the vegetable oil
2. Add the onions, garlic and herbs to the pan and allow them to cook on a high heat for a few minutes, until softened. Once soft, turn off the heat and put the pot to one side.
3. Heat up a large frying pan with a a little of the remaining oil, fry the beef mince - you might need to do this in 2-3 batches if it's a bit much for your frying pan. Fry and stir the mince until it's browned all over. .
4. Tip the mince into the saucepan with the onion mix. Mix them all together and put the saucepan back on the heat.
5. Empty the can of tomatoes into the saucepan and stir into the meat.
6. Add the Worcestershire sauce and 1 litre of stock (stock is made using the stock cubes and 1 pint of boiling water). Stir well.
7. Simmer for about 1 hour, uncovered, until the stock has reduced.
8. Separate into 3 portions - each one will now give you a basic mince mix to use in three separate meals for four people. You can refrigerate or freeze the mix. It will keep fine in the fridge for 3-4 days if in a lidded carton.
