Very good! My family loved it. I added a splash of red wine with the tomatoes and let it go for forty minutes.
Delicious. I made it exactly as written and served it with garlic bread. Took a little longer than thirty minutes, but the flavour is worth every one of them.
Thanks for sharing, Theo! So glad you enjoyed it. Garlic bread is exactly what we eat it with too.
Made a vegetarian version with lentils instead of the mince. So easy, and the mushrooms really carry it.
