Put the mince in a large bowl.

In a food processor, process the bread and garlic together, to a coarse crumb and tip into the bowl with the mince.

Slice the sausage and brown in a little oil, in a frying pan, add the onion and celery and cook until softened. Process this very briefly, pulse, until coarsely chopped.
