Add onion and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until onion becomes translucent, stirring constantly. Add garlic and cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in chili powder, salt, and cumin.

Categories     Sauces

Time 1h50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons oil
1 medium onion, finely diced
1 tablespoon crushed garlic
1 chorizo sausage, peeled,quartered,sliced finely (about 100g)
450 g ground beef (I used lamb)
1/4 cup white wine (I used vermouth)
1 (250 g) jar tomato paste
2 (440 g) cans chopped peeled tomatoes
3 cups water
2 teaspoons dried basil
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 pinch mixed spice (pumpkin spice is similar)
1 teaspoon celery salt
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat.
  • Add the onion and cook for about 5 minutes, or until it softens.
  • Add the garlic and saute for a further 5 minutes-don't allow to burn.
  • Add the sliced chorizo, and cook for a couple of minutes, until the fat starts to run.
  • Now add the meat and brown really well.
  • I've learned to do this (thanks Evelyn/Athens) over about 15 minutes to get a really good flavour, so be patient.
  • At this stage, I drain all the fat and oil off that I can.
  • Pour in the wine, and cook for a couple of minutes, then add the tomato paste, and cook a couple of minutes more.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes, water, herbs, mixed spice and celery salt and bring to the boil.
  • Reduce to a simmer, and cook gently for about 2 hours uncovered, stirring occasionally and making sure not too much water has evaporated or that the dish is sticking.
  • Stir through the parsley before serving over pasta of your choice.
