Pork Mince - first batch

It was very much a case of using up what I happened to have in as I haven't been to the shops in a while, hence last night's bolognese-type effort was decidedly meh.

The really rather dull pork minced bolognese-type disappointment

I fried up an onion and some garlic, put this to one side, then fried the 500-ish grams of pork mince. A chopped red chilli and two chopped red peppers were added and fried a bit more. This was seasoned with some salt and pepper and a sprinkle of mixed herbs. I found a fat carrot in the fridge so I diced that and threw it in, followed by the re-introduction of the onions and garlic.

Two tins of chopped tomatoes were mixed in, and to try to add some flavour a squeeze of tomato puree, a generous shake of Worcestershire sauce, and because I didn't have any red wine or beef stock, I stirred in about 3 teaspoons of Marmite. I removed the corns off of the remaining two coblettes from yesterday and put those in too.

I let this simmer for about 40 mins and cooked up some fusilli pasta. Grated cheese was tickled over once in the bowl.

Verdict
Really rather dull unfortunately. Distinctly lacking in excitement. The pork mince itself reminded me most of Quorn mince - i.e tasteless. In the future I shall be required to add much more robust flavours to it. There are 3 portions left of this batch. 5.5 out of 10.
