Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp chopped onion

  • 3 tbsp olive oil

  • 40g butter

  • 2 tbsp chopped celery

  • 2 tbsp chopped carrot

  • 350g minced lean beef, chuck or neck

  • 2 tsp salt

  • 250ml dry white wine

  • 8 tbsp full cream milk

  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg

  • 400g tinned tomatoes, briefly pureed

Method

  1. Heat a heavy-based pot and saute the onion with oil and butter until translucent. Add the celery and carrot and cook for two minutes. Add the beef and salt and cook briefly, until the meat has just lost its raw colour. Add wine and increase heat to medium high, stirring occasionally until wine has evaporated. Reduce heat to medium and add milk and nutmeg, stirring occasionally until liquid has evaporated. Add tomatoes, stir well and reduce the heat to a bare simmer. Cook for 3 1/2 to four hours. Season to taste.
