Bolognese sauce

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 onion, chopped

1 clove garlic, crushed

250 gram beef mince

50 gram mushrooms, chopped

1 tablespoon tomato paste

200 gram diced tomatoes

1/4 cup red wine

1/2 tablespoon chopped parsley

Jaffles

8 slices wholemeal bread

Method

1.To make bolognese sauce: heat oil in a large frying pan on medium. Saute onion and garlic 3-4 minutes, until tender. Increase heat to high; add mince. Cook 5-6 minutes, until browned, breaking up lumps as it cooks. Add mushrooms and paste. Cook, stirring, 1-2 minutes.

2.Mix in tomatoes and wine. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, 10-15 minutes (adding a little water if it becomes too thick). Season to taste; stir parsley through. Allow to cool slightly.

3.Preheat a sandwich press or jaffle maker on high. Spray surface with olive oil.

4.Spoon bolognese evenly onto 2 slices of bread. Using the back of a spoon, make indent in the centre. Gently pour a little whisked egg into sauce. Top with the remaining bread slices.

5.Toast in sandwich press 2-3 minutes, until golden brown. Cut in half to serve. Garnish with parsley.

You may have leftover bolognese sauce, depending on how full you stuff your jaffles. This is great enjoyed over hot spaghetti or stuffed inside a baked potato.
