Method

Heat the oil in a pan and fry the onion, celery, garlic and beef for 5-8 mins until the veg is soft and the meat is browned.

Stir in the stock, oregano and tomatoes. Bring to the boil and simmer, covered, for 2 hrs, stirring occasionally, until the meat starts to fall apart.

Put the cauliflower in a pan with 100ml boiling water. Cover and simmer for 8 mins until soft. Drain well and mash with the olive oil and some black pepper.

In another pan, cook the bacon on a medium heat until crisp. Add the lettuce and fry until golden and wilted. Add the peas and cook for 2-3 mins until heated through.

Divide the cauliflower mash between 2 bowls, top with the beef ragu and garnish with basil leaves. Serve with the lettuce, peas and bacon on the side.
