Fry over a diced onion with some freshly chopped garlic.
After a few minutes, once the onions become translucent and golden at the edges, add the meat.
Break down the meat into small pieces with a fork or a spoon.
Fry the meat for a few minutes until brown all over.
Add a can of chopped tomatoes and season with salt and pepper and a sprinkle of chicken soup mix to reduce acidity. Mix well.
Lower flame so the meat is just about bubbling. Cook for one hour.
Boil spaghetti as per packet instructions.
Put spaghetti on a plate or in a bowl and top with the meat.
Note: The meat on its own freezes well.
Et Voila!
note - sugar reduces acidity as well - demerera sugar somehow seems healthier than unnecessary soup mix... then spice meat with paprika, cayenne pepper/red chilli flakes/chrissa, some cumin etc.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I have written on previous recipes about using sugar instead, but I got a bit bored of writing it - but, you are right I should include it in every recipe as I dont know that people have read previous ones....
ReplyDeleteNote: I am very boring with my spices...
