This rich, slow-simmered ragu is the perfect introduction to fortified mince. By blending organic beef with nutrient-dense liver and heart, you get a deeply savoury sauce that’s full of flavour, naturally high in iron and protein, and ideal for feeding the whole family — without overpowering offal flavours.

Serves 3–4

Ingredients

• 400g Organic Fortified Beef Mince (beef, liver & heart)

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 1 onion, finely diced

3. Build the sauce
   Stir in the tomato purée and cook for 1–2 minutes to deepen the flavour. Add the chopped tomatoes, beef stock, oregano and bay leaf.

4. Simmer gently
   Bring to a light simmer, cover partially, and cook for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until rich and thickened.
