Hi, everyone.
I'm a complete novice at cooking. I'm trying to make bolognese sauce but it's not working. For simplicity I am using only minced beef and tomato paste until I get that part right.
I put a tablespoon of rapeseed oil into a saucepan, and then put 300g mince into a frypan on medium-high heat, and moosh it with my tongs and stir it occasionally until it turns brown (takes a few minutes). I then pour tomato paste in and stir it until the mince is coated in the tomato paste. I then put it onto the lowest heat setting and leave it covered for an hour. Here's a video and pic of what it looks like after half an hour. The meat has not broken up and it doesn't smell right. What am I missing?
Thanks in advance.
