First step to make Aubergine Melanzane!
MINCED BEEF!!!

Ingredients:
750g Minced Beef (5% FAT)
200ml Water
3 Tbsp Tomato paste
1 Tbsp Soy sauce
2 cans Peeled tomatoes
3 Tbsp Olive Oil (or vegetable, sunflower, any)
1 Tsp Garlic paste
2 Tbsp Basil (Separated)
2 Small carrots
1/2 Celery
1 Large pointed pepper
2 Small sweet pepper
1/2 Onion
1 Red pepper
10 Mushrooms
5 Tsp Sugar
4 Bay leaves

Preparation:
Place the pan on the hob in medium low heat, add the oil and the garlic then change to high heat and after you feel the pan is really hot start adding the meat as I show on the video.

We need to fry the meat at a high temperature so It will not water too much; place the meat at the sides of the pan, making a circle in the middle to let the water boil without cooking the meat itself. For this reason it has to be on high heat before placing the meat into the pan.

I add the minced beef slowly so that the water gets to boil before adding more beef.

Note 1: See how I manage the heat according to each step. To save time, You could have all the ingredients cut before start frying the minced beef.

Note 2: I add pinch of salt throughout the process, but I will never say quantities as everyone has their own taste.

Note 3: When Adding the rest of the ingredients the heat was in low, stirr time to time as I did, if you see any water put the heat back on to high because every time you add vegetables, they will release more water

Note 4: Always add sugar to recipes with tomatoes sauce on it, as the sugar helps to reduce the acid and your food lasts longer on your fridge or freezer.

I hope you like it and find it easy and helpful. You could use this sauce with pasta too. X
