* Spaghetti Polonaise

Ingredients

350 gm spaghetti
350 gm minced meat
1 onion chopped
5 cloves of garlic chopped
1/2 tsp dry oregano
1 tsp paprika
A pinch of cinnamon
1 1/2 tbsp fresh oregano
4 big ripe tomatoes
135 gm tomato paste
2 bay leaves
1/2 liter vegetable stock
Salt & pepper
Olive oil


Directions

Saute the onions in olive oil adding to it 1/2 tsp dry oregano and just a pinch of black pepper. Once the onions have softened add the garlic and then the minced meat and season with black pepper and paprika. Add your fresh oregano and then just leave your meat to cook very well and brown a little which will release all the yummy taste and concentrate the flavors.

Remove the skin of your tomatoes by boiling them in hot water for just 5 minutes and then put them in freezing cold water, this will help the skin come right off. Chop your tomatoes with your knife very finely and then add it to the minced meat, add all the tomato juices as well. Add the tomato paste, the bay leaves and the chicken stock and leave it boiling on high heat until the sauce starts thickening, lower the heat then and leave your sauce to simmer and enhance all the flavors.

Once your pasta is ready and cooked add your polonaise sauce on top, garnish with anything green to invite the eyes, I used chives myself and sprinkle with Parmesan or cheddar cheese
