So Hurrah! success. I have already made this recipe twice and am raving to all about it. Keep up your good work.

Low Fat Vegetable Sauce or Topper
Ingredients:
250g-350g low fat mince
1 onion
1 stick celery
2 carrots
2 cups chopped vegetables - capsicum, beans, broccoli, pumpkin, peas, corn - whatever is in the fridge.
1 tin chopped tomatoes
basil leaves
Pepper
Method:
Use a non-stick pan and a tiny splash of oil to fry the chopped onion, celery and carrots. This is called mirepoix and is the traditional base for good French cooking. Add the minced beef - 250g will serve 4 unless they are voracious teenagers. When that is browned, add a couple of cups of whatever vegetables you have lurking in the fridge, chopped to a more or less even size. Stir it all up, cook for a minute or two, then add a can of tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper and some fresh basil. Cook it down for about an hour, very gently, and add a couple of spoons of water if it dries too much. This is great with pasta or rice, or served over boiled potatoes, or on toast or as a filling for pies or toasted sandwiches. You can use any sort of vegetables, not forgetting broccoli stalk. It's almost fat free and loaded with good things. I managed 9 vegetables in my last batch. It will freeze, but leftovers will store in the fridge for a couple of days.
