Recipe

• 1 place the onion, ginger, garlic, chillies and oil into a hot heavy based pan and cook over a moderate heat until the onion is cooked but not coloured.
• 2 turn the heat to high and add the mince and over about 5 minutes break up the clumps and cook until the meat has taken on some colour (you don't want to do this too fast or you will drop the temperature of the pan the meat will stew).
• 3 add the tomato sugo (or chopped tomatoes) and stock and season well.
