Method

To cook mince

1

Add a dash of oil to a hot pan and then add mince

2

Stir to ensure the mince does not stick to the pan and that it browns evenly.

3

If it begins to stew and water gathers in the bottom of the pan the mince will taste like it has been boiled ~ take the mince from the heat and strain away the liquid.

4

Reheat the pan with a further dash of oil and return the drained mince to the pan to begin the browning process again.

5

Your final dish will have more flavour and a nicer colour.
