Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour 30 minutes

Using leftovers a little more complicated

Finely chop onions and mushrooms to your liking. Sauté in a frying pan (or use a sauté pan with high sides) and brown lightly. Once everything has taken on some color, add the finely chopped vegetables (pointed peppers, tomatoes, garlic, jalapeño) and sauté, adding 1-2 tablespoons of stock powder. Then add the meat and tomato paste, fry briefly, and stir constantly. Deglaze with a little hot water (or any other liquid, of course) to loosen any cooking residue from the bottom of the pan. Stir well, add the passata, stir well, and simmer over medium heat for 30-60 minutes, until the sauce thickens nicely. Add some grated hard cheese to taste and stir. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Tastes wonderful with all kinds of pasta. Perfect for using up leftover vegetables with leftover pulled beef/pork.
