Step 1
Start by placing a frying pan over heat and warming a little olive oil in it. Add the minced meat to the pan and fry, stirring occasionally. While the meat is browning, peel and chop the onion and red pepper into pieces, then blend the vegetables into a puree using a blender. When the meat has browned slightly and changed color from pink to a paler shade, add the blended vegetables to it.
