Once again I’m opting out of simple, and instead going for a bonanza of ingredients, hopefully you will have some of them already in the cupboard. A rich bolognese sauce with plenty of veg to keep you helathy: protein in the soya and beans, iron in the spinach, vitamin C in the tomatoes. One yummy dinner. Serves 6
Splash if oil
oregano, thyme, cumin (tsp of each)
salt and pepper
Large onion diced
3-4 cloves garlics sliced
175ml red wine (alcohol free is ok)
large splash of mushroom ketchup
200g mushrooms, roughly chopped and fried
soya mince (can be frozen just add 10min to simmer time)
tin chopped tomatoes
2 tbsps tomatoe puree
½ tbsps garlic puree
tin kidney beans
large bag of spinach
handful of fresh parsley
Add the first five ingredients and fry until onion is golden brown. Pour the wine over the onion/garlic, add toms and purees and stir in the mushrooms and mince. Once heated through add beans and allow to simmer for 20minutes. Add spinach and parsley, allow to wilt and stir in. Serve with spaghetti, rice or couscous. A dollop of houmous or tahini gives an extra twist
