Gotta add some mustard to a mash , either grainy or Dijon works well. Mixed root-veg mash - including tatties, of course - is also great, especially for those who don't like bits of veg in their mince. I hardly ever do plain mashed tatties any more: I almost always cook up some carrots as well, with turnip and/or sweet potato also being acceptable additions. The best is with tatties and celeriac however. As for the mince, I just can't help myself when it comes to adding garlic, chilli, paprika, cumin, and tomato paste / tinned-tomatoes these days - sorry...

If I can be bothered I'll make posh mince and tatties. Start off with finely chopped shallots, soften them slowly in the pan and then add a clove of chopped garlic. After a minute or so, before the garlic burns, a big glug of balsamic vinegar, about a tablespoon or two. Then add the mince that you've browned in batches beforehand in another pan, as if you do all at once the mince can release moisture and ends up steaming itself instead of browning properly. Once it's all good add about a pint of good stock and red wine 50/50 mix, a squirt of tomato paste, and some fresh thyme. Then about half an hour before serving chuck in a good handful of chopped chestnut mushrooms. Any left over can be frozen and gives you a brilliant base for shepherd's pie with a nice cheesy mash on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Just now, crunchy frog said: Bolognese in other words 😁 Not at all. Fairly close to some ragu recipes but the tomato is only there to add a bit of a tang and not be an identifiable flavour. Also I thicken it at the end with a bit of Bisto that I'd never add to a bolognese. My bolognese recipe includes pancetta, celery, and carrots, and a shit load more garlic.

Classic ragu from Bologna has milk of all thing instead of tomato and it's delicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Hate the stuff. Used to have it all the time when I was younger but was never a big fan. Was put in front of me one night for dinner, made to eat it under the threat of my old boy skelping me and ended up spewing in it. Never had it since.

I'm the same with mince that has peas and carrots in it, for the same reason. Didn't want to eat it for my tea one night as a kid and my mum, who had threatened before to give me it for breakfast the next morning if I didn't eat it, followed through with the threat and put it in front of me the next morning. Had the exact opposite result than she probably intended, and I've got the boak every time since when I see mince with peas and carrots through it.
