When travelling, it can be challenging to have all the ingredients to prepare a flavoursome meal. Add some fussy eaters to the mix and it becomes near impossible. In trying to satisfy two 6 year old boys, I whipped up some bolognese sauce, but didn't have any herbs to add flavour.

Then it dawned on me, I only needed one item to add flavour, our very own Vegetable Stock! So simple, so fast and YUM!

Ingredients

• onion, peeled and halved
• 400g chopped tomatoes (or tin of organic tomatoes)
• 50g tomato paste
• 500g mince
• 1 tbs Broth of Life Vegetable Stock
• 25g healthy cooking fat (Olive Oil, Butter, Brellow, Tallow or Ghee)

Thermomix Method

1. Add onion to the jug, chop for 3 seconds on speed 8.
2. Add 25g healthy cooking fat, saute for 3 mins, 100C, speed 2.
3. Add tomatoes, tomato paste and vegetable stock to the jug.
4. Place mince inside simmering basket, and insert into jug.
5. Cook for 15 minutes, Varoma temperature, speed 4.
6. Place cooked mince into jug and stir into sauce for 10 seconds on speed 2.

Stove top Method

1. Heat healthy cooking fat in a large frying pan over medium heat
2. Chop onion
3. Add chopped onion to heated pan and cook until tender
4. Increase heat to medium-high and add mince
5. Cook stirring for 5 minutes until browned
6. Add tomatoes, tomato paste and vegetable stock
7. Stir to combine
8. Reduce heat to low and partially cover.
9. Simmer and stir occasionally for 30 mins until cooked and fragrant

Serve on top of desired base (zoodles, gf pasta, rice) or eat as it from a bowl.

For an extra bump in flavour and nutrition, sprinkle our dehydrated beef broth on top
