remaining ingredients and bring back to a
simmer.

Transfer to the Cooking Pot and cover with the
Lid. Cook for approximately 4-7 hours.

When the fat has started to run from the meat,
add the onion, celery and garlic.

Fry for a couple of minutes and then add the
tomato puree.
4
Blend some of the tomato juice with the flour to
make a smooth pouring cream, add to the meat
with remaining tomatoes and juice and bring to
the boil, stirring continuously until thickened.
5
Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.
6
Transfer to the Cooking Pot and cover with the
Lid. Cook for approximately 3-8 hours.
Note: a slight 'crust' of brown meat may appear
on the top. It soon disappears if stirred into the
sauce.
