Step 1. Start by preparing chopped onion, celery and basil. Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large pan.

Step 2. Pour the mince into the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes over low heat, avoid burning the onion

Step 3. Cut the ventricina into 1 cm cubes and add it to the pan.

Step 4. Add the tomato puree, add a little salt (remember that most of the flavor will be given by the ventricina, so stick with it! :)) and let it cook for a few minutes.
