Ingredients

• 1 onion
• 2 garlic gloves
• 2 carrots
• 1 celery stick
• 1 red pepper
• 50g fresh spinach
• ½ tbsp oil
• 500g chicken mince
• 100g smoked bacon, chopped
• 400g tinned chopped tomatoes
• 200 ml chicken stock
• 2 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tsp oregano
• ½ tsp smoked paprika
• salt and pepper to taste

Method

1. Chop all the veggies into small pieces. I find it quicker and easier to do this with a mini chopper . But by hand is fine too.
2. Add the veggies to a large frying pan or saucepan along with the oil and fry for 5 minutes.
3. Add the chicken mince and chopped bacon and fry for another 4-5 minutes until the chicken has turned white.
4. Add the chopped tomatoes, chicken stock, ketchup, oregano, smoked paprika and a little salt and pepper.
5. Bring to the boil then simmer on low for 17 minutes.
6. Serve immediately with cooked pasta.
