Instructions

  1. Lightly spray a large saucepan with oil and heat over medium heat. Cook onion, stirring, for 5-6 minutes or until softened. Add garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add carrot and celery and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, for 5-6 minutes or until just tender. Add thyme and mince and cook, stirring to break up lumps, for 5-6 minutes or until browned.
