Savoury Mince

• 1 tablespoon melted butter or 1 tablespoon oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 500 g mincemeat (ground beef)
• 1 cup water
• 1 beef stock cube
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly minced garlic
• Dried Herbs
• 1 pinch rosemary
• 1 pinch thyme
• 1 pinch oregano
• 1 pinch parsley
• 1 dash Worcestershire sauce (about a dessertspoon)
• 1 teaspoon gravy mix
• salt and pepper
• 1 teaspoon cornflour (if needed to thicken the mince)

1. Heat butter or oil in a large pan, add onion and garlic.
2. Saute until onion is transparent.
3. Increase heat, add mince and dash of Worcestershire sauce- stir often to break up the lumps of mince and cook until mince has browned.
4. Drain fat or liquid residue.
5. Add the crumbed stock cube, herbs, gravy powder, salt and pepper.
6. Make sure the gravy powder is combined with the mince so it does not go lumped when the water is added.
7. Slowly add the water to the mince mixture stirring all the time.
8. Bring to boil, reduce to simmer and cover and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
9. If mince needs thickening add a little cornflour (ie 1 tsp) in water to the mix to thicken.
10. Serve on buttered toast or with rice or mashed potatoes and steam vegetables.
