     +    
MINCED MEAT

Heat the vegetable oil in large pan with deep sides until hot, sprinkle in the minced meat and ½ the seasoning. When putting the mince into the pan don’t move it around until it is coloured and crispy first, if you move it around the heat in the pan will go and the meat will start to simmer.

Break up the mince after 8-10 minutes by tapping the mince with a wooden spoon and cook for about 15- 20 min until golden. Strain through a colander to catch all the oil, pour the oil back into frying pan, add the butter and diced onions and garlic with remaining salt, pepper, herbs and cook over a low heat until translucent.

Add the mince back to the onions before adding the flour and cooking for 3-4 mins on a medium heat. Add the stock, bring to a slow simmer stirring the pan and cook for 20-30 mins on a medium/ low heat until reduced and thick.

     +    
WHITE SAUCE

Infuse the milk with the bay leaf on a low heat. Melt the butter in a pan, add the flour and cook out for a few minutes, stirring regularly. Pour the milk, little by little, stirring all the time with the heat on low so it’s not too hot. Add the salt, pepper and then bring to a slow simmer for 5 minutes on a low heat. Add the mustard, cheese, stirring until well combined and pass through a fine sieve.
