3 tb Tomato paste
1 cn Tomato soup; salt reduced
-preferably
1 ts Oregano
1 ts Mixed herbs
1 ts Sweet basil
1 ts Parsley
500 ml Jar tomato passata
4 lg Mushrooms; skinned [+]

Brown meat in batches in heavy casserole dish in a little olive oil.
Remove meat as cooked to a bowl. Heat 1 tb olive oil and fry off the
onions and fry while stirring until softened, then add mushrooms and
cook for a minute or two. Add herbs and tomato paste and fry on
medium to high heat for at least 1 minute. Add chopped tomatoes,
peppers, crushed garlic, and passata and stir well. Bring to the boil
and and reduce the heat to a simmer. Add the browned mince and stir
well. If mixture too thick add either some beef stock or water. The
longer it simmers on low heat the richer it will be.

Variations:

Chicken cacciatore - substitute 1kg diced chicken meat - other
ingredients & method the same. When the kids were young and refused
zucchini I used to grated it and add while cooking the onions. For
some odd reason they never questioned the big 'herbs'!

[*] Oven roasted peppers, tomatoes & garlic:

Wash tomatoes trim stalks, wash peppers well & remove most of the
stalks (so that you can stand them upside down in a baking tray).
Place whole peppers and tomatoes into baking dish together with the
whole garlic, drizzle with olive oil and bake at 170°C for around 45
minutes. Once cooked, immediately place peppers & tomatoes into
'freezer' bags and seal. Wrap garlic in foil and allow to cool. Once
cooled sufficiently for handling, gently remove skins, deseed (and
devein peppers) and slice or chop into chunks. Separate garlic cloves
and squeeze the base of each clove, the garlic pulp will ooze out of
the tip.

the taste. So I can get my mushy fix in my bolognaise, I blitz them
in my braun mini-processor until finely 'minced' then no one is any
the wiser.... (wink, wink)
