Cooking Directions
This meal looks and sounds like a chore but it's
pretty simple really, especially if you prepare some of the
ingredients at home first.
At home:
Finely chop the onions, mushrooms and carrot's.
Place into a plastic bag along with the lemon
juice (to stop the
onions going brown), Worcester Sauce, mixed herbs and bay leaf.
Season well
and seal.
Chop the bacon and place in a separate bag.
Store all the ingredients in a cool bag on the
bank.
On the bank:
Heat some oil in the wok, add the onions,
mushrooms and carrots. Cook until the onions have browned.
Add the mince and cook until the mince has
browned right through. Then add the can of tomatoes whilst
stirring. Finally add half the tube of Puree and a third of a
bottle of wine (chef can finish off
the rest!)
Simmer for 25-35 minutes, serve with the boiled
pasta and pour the rest of the wine out!
Cracking stuff! Thanks to the guy's at Advanced
Carp Fishing for the inspiration on this recipe!
