Method
- Heat the oil in a heavy-based pan, then fry the carrot for 5 minutes until beginning to soften. Add the beef, turn up the heat, then fry for 8-10 minutes more until browned, breaking up the mince with a wooden spoon as you go. Add the salami, if using, and fry for another minute.
- Pour in the passata, rinse out the jar with 200ml water, then add that to the pan. Bring to a simmer, stir in the beans, season generously, then cook over a low-medium heat for 15 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
- Add the Worcestershire sauce and tomato ketchup, then taste and adjust the seasoning with a little more
of each, as you like. - Heat the grill to medium. Ladle sauce over half of each flatbread, then top with mozzarella and grill until golden and melted (see tip). Sprinkle with basil to serve.
