Ingredients
  

  • Ground lamb
  • Onion carrot, celery
  • Garlic
  • Tomato paste
  • Crushed tomatoes
  • Red wine
  • Milk
  • Olive oil
  • Fresh herbs
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions
 

Step 1: Build the Base

  • Heat olive oil in your pot until it shimmers. Add your chopped onions, carrots, and celery. Stir gently as they soften.

Step 2: Brown the Lamb

  • Add the ground lamb and break it up. Let it brown properly. Don’t rush it. A good sear means better flavour.

Step 3: Add the Garlic and Tomato Paste

  • Toss in your garlic and tomato paste. Stir until the paste darkens slightly.

Step 5: Add Tomatoes and Milk

  • Stir in crushed tomatoes and a splash of milk. The sauce will immediately look creamier and more inviting.

Step 6: Simmer

  • Lower the heat and let the sauce gently bubble. Let it take its time. Good things happen here.

Step 7: Season and Adjust

  • Add herbs, salt, pepper, and optional extras.
