Method

  1. In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil and cook the onions until softened. Add the mince, break it up with a spoon and fry until browned. Stir through the tomato purée and pour over the canned tomatoes, oregano and a splash of water. Bring to a simmer and bubble rapidly for 15 minutes.
