Ingredients

1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

½ cup sweet onion, minced

¼ cup carrot, minced

¼ cup celery, minced

1 clove of garlic, minced

1 pound ground Australian lamb

2 Tablespoons flour

1 ½ cups vegetable broth

½ teaspoon dried thyme

2 Tablespoons tomato paste

1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon Kosher salt

1 teaspoon Vegemite (optional)

Method

In a large skillet over MEDIUM-HIGH heat, add oil, onion, carrot, celery and garlic. Cook until vegetables are tender - about 5 minutes.

Reduce heat to MEDIUM-LOW, stir in the remaining ingredients and bring to a simmer. Continue cooking until thickened- about 20 minutes. Stir occasionally.
