  • 8 cloves Black Garlic – sliced
  • 500g beef mince
  • 500g pork mince
  • 1 tsp Italian herb seasoning

  • 175ml red wine
  • 150ml whole milk
  • A few drops of Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper 

Method

  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Gently fry the onions for 10 minutes until soft. Add the crushed white garlic and finely sliced Black Garlic. Cook for 2 more minutes.
  • Add the beef and pork mince, brown all over.
  • Add the remaining ingredients. Simmer gently for 1½ – 2 hours.
