Heat the oils in a saucepan, then add bacon, leek tops, carrot, capsicum, pepper and thyme and fry for about 5-8 minutes.

Reduce the heat and add the tomato paste and mince and stir ensuring all the mince is broken up with no lumps as it lightly browns.

Increase the heat and add the boiling water, stir and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer while occasionally stirring for about 15 minutes.

Add the chopped parsley then remove from the heat.
