Ken’s Spaghetti bolognaise

500g mince
500g  Spaghetti
One heaped  t spoon of mixed herbs
about table spoon of oregano
1 garlic clove, peeled crushed, sliced mushed
½ teaspoon garlic salt
Tin of double concentrate tomato puree
Tin of chopped  tomatoes
½ large onion or one small onion chopped up very finely indeed
About 8 button mushrooms or 4 large mushrooms chopped into tiny pieces so kids doesn’t notice them
No water
Salt and pepper for seasoning the mince while browning it
A very little amount of soy sauce, and I mean a tiny splatter of it, just enough to make the same size of a £2 coin in the middle of the sauce.
A spatter of worstershire sauce
Cook without lid on for about 40 minutes after everything is in the pot and simmering away.
While that is cooking, boil the spaghetti until ready.
While the bolognaise and spaghetti is cooking , start tidying up, putting things in the bin, sink etc. If there is time, sitting down with a coffee 

In order:
Brown the mince with salt and pepper, chopped onion and garlic
Add tomato puree and tin of tomatoes
Mushrooms
Garlic salt, herbs, worstershire sauce
Soy sauce

while making this it is advisable to drin ka bottle of red wine, doesnt add flavour but makes you feel great

Ken it sounds really delicious but pressure cookers here have for the most part been recycled but there are a few at some of the second hand stores but you really have to look hard,my mom used one but they were fazed out by slow cookers and crock pots

Here's what I use for my chili:
For this recipe you are going to need a 4 quart pot. Like most competition chili recipes ingredients will be added in what is called drops. This recipe has 3 drops to it.
On the day before you plan on cooking the chili, brown 2 pounds of lean ground beef and drain all the grease off in a glass shaped like this “\/†.  On the day you cook the chili add the meat to the pot, add 1/5 of the fat (white ring around the top) and all the glutens (the jelly like substance in the bottom of the glass). Heat until the meat is sizzling. Adding the meat drippings, especially the glutens, will really make the meat much more tender and much more tasty. As for the fat, the fat adds taste but be miserly with the fat as too much fat gets your chili too greasy.
Now add one 14.5 ounce can of broth (beef or chicken or vegetable which ever you prefer) and one 8 ounce can of salt free tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes or tomato juice (v8 works too).
Now for the heart and soul of your chili: Add 3-6 (3 for milder to 6 for hotter..1-2 for the real wimps) types of pepper of your choice to the mixture (these just vary to taste but remember the hotter the pepper the hotter the chili so make what you want) and bring the mixture to a boil. When the boil starts add drop 1.
Drop 1:
2 cup finely minced white or yellow onions
2 cloves finely minced garlic (about 1/8 cup)
1 Tablespoon of Chili Powder (brand 1)
Cover the pot and reduce heat to simmer for 1 hour. Remove the pepper and crush the juice into the pot. Now its time to add Drop 2 to the pot.
Drop 2:
2-1/2 Tablespoons (brand 2) chili powder
2 Teaspoons cumin
1/2 Teaspoon black pepper
1/2 Teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 Cube beef bullion
1/2 Cube chicken bullion
1/2 Teaspoon Japanese seasoning fish soup base
1/2 Teaspoon honey
1/2 cup red wine
Continue boiling with lid on for 30 minutes. After boiling for the 30 minutes add the last drop.
Drop 3:
2 Teaspoons brand 3 Chili Powder
1 Teaspoon cumin seeds
Salt to taste
Cover it up and simmer for 15 minutes more and serve it up.
