Simple & Flavoursome Bolognese with SUCSEED Boost

2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 carrots, finely diced
2 celery sticks, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
500g minced beef
2 tbsp tomato purée
400g tin chopped tomatoes
200ml beef or vegetable stock (or red wine for depth)
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil (or a bay leaf)
Salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
60g SUCSEED Energy blend
Fresh parsley or basil, chopped, to finish

Base flavours:

• Heat olive oil in a large pan.
• Sauté onion, carrot, and celery gently for 8–10 minutes until softened and sweet.

Build the sauce:

• Stir in garlic, then add the mince. Cook until browned all over.
• Stir in tomato purée and cook for 2 minutes.
• Add chopped tomatoes, stock (or wine), herbs, salt and pepper.
• Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer.
• Cook low & slow: simmer uncovered for 35–40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thick and rich. Add extra stock/water if needed.

Finish

• Take off the heat and stir in SUCSEED Energy for a subtle boost of fibre, plant protein, omega 3 and multiple phytonutrients. (A great way to get more goodness into the kids without them knowing!)
• Taste and adjust seasoning. Top with fresh parsley or basil before serving.

Serving Ideas

• Toss with wholegrain pasta or spaghetti.
• Serve over courgetti (spiralised courgette) for a lighter option.
• Save leftovers — this freezes beautifully.
