Mince meat stew

This recipe is super easy to prepare and to cook. I noticed that I already posted a very similar recipe (Stew with mince meat and root vegetables) but this is a little bit of a modification.

Ingredients
(serves 4)
500 g mince meat (can use lamb mince if you want)
2 red onions, cut into wedges
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
300 g parsnip, peeled and cut into bite size pieces
300 g pumpkin, peeled and  cut into bite size pieces
300 g carrots, peeled and cut into bite size pieces
150 g fennel, cut coarsly
3 tbsp tomato paste
400 g crushed tomatoes
400 ml water
1 bay leaf
1½ tsp thyme
1 stock cube
salt and pepper
grass-fed butter for frying

Fry the onion and garlic soft in some butter. Add the mince meat and let it get brown. Once the mince meat is brown, add all vegetables together with the tomato paste and mix around a bit. Then add the bay leaf, thyme, stock, salt, pepper, tomatoes and water. Let it boil for about 20-30 minutes or until the veggies are cooked through. Serve with a nice salad.
