To make the mince, heat a dash of olive oil in a large heavy based saucepan or deep frying pan. When hot add the onion and salt and sauté until translucent and beginning to brown at the edges.

When the mince has browned, add the grated mushrooms and sauté for a further 3 minutes, then add the paprika and flour.

Fry this for a few minutes before adding the Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste and beef stock. Scrape the bottom of the pan with your spoon to ensure all the tasty brownings are incorporated into the mix.

Simmer for a further 5-10 minutes until thickened and then add the parsley before removing from the heat.
