Big-batch pressure cooker bolognese
Method
STEP 1
Heat the oil in your pressure cooker or a separate pan over a medium-low heat. Fry the onion, celery and carrot for 10-12 mins until softened but not golden. Stir in the garlic, cook for 2 mins, then tip in the mushrooms and cook for 10-12 mins until their liquid has been released and evaporated.
STEP 2
Stir in the mixed herbs and bay leaves, then tip in the beef mince. Fry until browned, around 6-8 mins. Squeeze
in the tomato purée, then pour in the chopped tomatoes, wine, if using, and stock. Bring to a simmer then put the lid on the pressure cooker, bring up to pressure and cook for 20 mins.
STEP 3
Release the pressure, then serve with spaghetti, sprinkled with parmesan and basil leaves, if you like. Once cooled, will keep chilled for three days or frozen for three months.
