Steps
|
1
|
Place the deep pot on the Panasonic Multi-Cooker, adjust the dial so that the manual icon flashes. At this time, 30 minutes (00:30) will appear on the screen. Press the time button, then turn the dial so that it says 10 minutes (00:10). Press the temperature button and adjust to 150°C, then press Start. Wait for the deep pot accessory to preheat. |
|
2
|
Heat the olive oil in the deep pot. Saute the onion, carrots, and celery for 5-10 minutes until jammy and softened but without any colour. Lower the heat if the vegetables start to brown. |
|
3
|
Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Remove the vegetable mixture from the deep pot and set aside. |
|
4
|
Reset the Panasonic Multi-Cooker by pressing Stop if it hasn’t stopped already. Adjust the dial so that the manual icon flashes, press the time button, then turn the dial to 15 minutes (00:15). Press the temperature button and adjust to 200°C. |
|
5
|
Add the ground beef and pork, breaking it apart with a spoon into small crumbles as it cooks. Cook the meat until deeply browned. This builds the overall flavour so don’t rush this step, and add a little more cook time if necessary to achieve the desired result. |
|
6
|
Return the vegetable mixture to the pan with the mince. |
|
7
|
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, beef stock, oregano, and bay leaf. Stir to combine. |
|
8
|
Reset the Panasonic Multi-Cooker by pressing Stop. Adjust the dial so that the manual icon flashes, press the time button, then turn the dial to 3 hours (03:00). Press the temperature button and adjust to 150°C, then press Start. |
|

|
Bring to a gentle simmer, cover partially, and cook for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally, until thick and rich. Add more water as needed to prevent the sauce becoming too dry |
|

Season with salt and pepper to taste. |
|
