The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.

Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
Halve the potatoes lengthways (no need to peel) and pop them onto a baking tray. Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Rub the oil into the potatoes, then lay them cut-side down on the baking tray.
Once the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until tender and a knife slips in easily, 30-40 mins.
Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Cut the broccoli into florets (like small trees). Halve any large florets.
Grate the cheese.
Heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil).
Once the pan is hot, add the beef mince and fry until browned, 5-6 mins. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks, then drain and discard any excess fat. Season with salt and pepper.
IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince. The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Add the dried rosemary and two thirds of the garlic to the pan. Cook, stirring, for 1 min.
Stir in the passata, red wine stock paste, Worcester sauce, sugar and water for the sauce (see ingredients for both amounts).
Bring to the boil, then simmer until the Bolognese has thickened, 5-6 mins. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in another medium frying pan on medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the broccoli and stir-fry for 2-3 mins.
Stir in the remaining garlic, then turn the heat down to medium. Cook for 1 min, then add a splash of water.
Pop a lid on the pan, or cover in foil, and cook until tender, a further 2-3 mins. Season with salt and pepper.
When everything is ready, share the potatoes between your plates.
Spoon the Bolognese over the top, then finish with a sprinkle of Cheddar.
Serve the garlic broccoli alongside.
Enjoy!
