MethodÌý

1.Heat oil in medium sized saucepan and brown mince, breaking it up with a fork as it cooks to keep it loose. Add grated carrot, bay leaf and red wine. Cook for 3-4 minutes then add tomatoes and seasoning. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 20-30 minutes.Ìý Taste and season with more salt or pepper to dad’s taste.ÌýÌý

2.Whilst mince cooks, fry onions in butter or oil. Get some really good colour on them before adding the chilli at the end. Set aside and use pan to fry eggs.Ìý

3.Plate up, topping mince with fried egg and chilli onion mix and toasted ciabatta slices on the side. Sprinkle with chives.Ìý

Nici’s notes

- Cooked mince, like casseroles, curries and soups, ages well overnight so prepare it the day before Fathers’ Day, refrigerate, then re-heat for brunch. Ìý

- Use one tablespoon of balsamic vinegar instead of red wine if you prefer.Ìý
