spag bol with celery and carrots?

[MamaGrr]

How do I do that?!

DH wants it for dinner tonight, I said I'd make it and he said oh, put celery and carrots in too (as he dashed out of the door)

Heeellllpppppp

chop the celery and carrots quite finely and soften them with the onion and garlic then just carry on with the rest of the spag bol

yes
dice them very small

yay thanks. I'm not very good at dicing - will probably grate the carrots

How many carrots/sticks of celery? Will it taste horrid?

I use one large grated carrot, one roasted and peeled aubergine and one courgette to 1 kg of mince. Too much carrot can make it too sweet.

Lovely, thanks.

it tastes sooooo nice with celery and carrot

celery carrot onion is the holy trinity

will deffo make it taste better

it's the base of all good stocks and soups

now I always thought bones were the basis of a good stock

Nigella advises whizzing it all in the food processor and I do this now - you can hide all manner of things then.

Right. I used 3 sticks of celery (scraped all teh string off) and one large carrot. Proceeded to burn the garlic and used extra tomato puree to try to mask taste.

Anyone want to come to ours for dinner

it's so damn easy to burn garlic isn't it.

Think i got away with it, I can't taste it although DH will be able to

bloody chefs
