1. STEP 1

   

   How to make tomato sauce from minced meat in a frying pan? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. It is best to prepare minced meat yourself. You can take any type of meat. It can be pork, beef, chicken, turkey, veal. I will cook it with minced pork. Take medium-sized onions and carrots.

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel the onions and carrots and rinse them to remove dirt. Finely chop the onion and grate the carrots on a coarse grater. Pour a little vegetable oil into a hot frying pan and add chopped onions and carrots. Stirring, fry them for 2-3 minutes over low heat.

3. STEP 3

   

   Then add the prepared minced meat to the pan. Mix everything and fry everything together for another 3-5 minutes. During frying, the minced meat will change color. To prevent it from becoming lumps, you need to knead them with a spatula.

   Add tomato paste to the fried minced meat. Add salt, ground pepper and dried basil to taste. Mix everything. Add water and bring to a boil. Simmer the gravy over low heat, covered with a lid, for about 10 - 15 minutes.

   At the end of cooking, add garlic, passed through a press. If desired, you can add more water, depending on the consistency of the gravy you want.

6. STEP 6

   

   Remove the finished gravy from the heat. In addition, you can prepare mashed potatoes, boil rice or spaghetti. Bon appetit!

Minced tomato sauce in a frying pan is a real lifesaver! The recipe is very simple and quick to prepare. First, I took the minced chicken out of the freezer, and only after that I started looking for what to cook. Tired of cutlets and meatballs. And a miracle! I found a recipe that suits me. I liked this dish because of the photo. Very appetizing and beautiful, and also quick and easy! I fried the vegetables, but I decided to cut the carrots into slices in butter and add minced meat. Following the author’s advice, I carefully kneaded the minced meat with a spatula so that there were no lumps. Then I added spices and tomato paste, which I store in the freezer. The spices included dried basil, salt, pepper, smoked ground paprika, and ground nutmeg. Adding water, simmered the gravy for 10 minutes. At the end, as the author writes, I added garlic. The aroma was amazing! So tasty that I tried the gravy right out of the frying pan. Delicious! Mmmm... The dish is easy to prepare, very filling and flavorful. This gravy can be poured over buckwheat, rice, potatoes, and pasta. I made minced meat gravy once, now every day there is a new side dish and, accordingly, a new dish))) Many thanks to the author!
