Chunky Veg Bolognese

==	Description==

This is a fantastic recipe for bolognese, made extra nutritious by the inclusion of some nice bits of veg. The tinned anchovies may sound a bit odd, but they really bring out the taste of the beef and generally buff the flavour up. Feel free to change any of the quantities or ingredients based on taste (and, of course, your preferred meat-to-veg ratio) just make sure to use tones of tomato puree so it turns out good and thick.

I tend to make this in industrial quantities as it freezes really well and can also go on to become a lasagna.

Ingredients

 * Garlic, finely sliced
 * Fresh red chillies, finely sliced
 * Dried oregano, 1 tbl spn
 * Onions, roughly chopped
 * Carrots, roughly chopped
 * Celery, roughly chopped
 * Courgettes, roughly chopped
 * Peppers, roughly chopped
 * Beef mince
 * Tin of anchovies
 * Glass of red wine
 * Tins of tomatoes (plum and chopped)
 * Tin of cannellini beans
 * One (whole!) tube of tomato puree
 * Salt and Pepper

Ingredients

 * 1) Heat a good splash of olive oil to a large pan.


 * 1) Add the garlic, chili and oregano and fry gently for a few minutes.


 * 1) Add the onions, celery and carrots and then the rest of the veg and fry for 10 minutes or so.


 * 1) Meanwhile cook the beef off in a frying pan until brown all over, and then scoop it out with a well-holed spoon (so that the fat stays in the pan).


 * 1) Add the beef and the wine to the big pan, and turn up the heat until the wine boils away.


 * 1) Add everything else to the pan in order, bring it to the boil, season it, and leave it to simmer for an hour or so.


 * 1) Serve with pasta, garlic bread and a pile of grated cheese (cheddar, parmesan, whatever).
