    Boil the kettle. Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the Onion until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Mix through the garlic and tomato paste and fry until fragrant, 30 seconds - 1 minute (shifting constantly). Add the mince and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook.
