My friends and I always joke that cooking for kids requires 1000 ways of reinventing minced meat. What’s your go to mince recipe? Here’s a new one to add to your repertoire as the weather cools:
Ingredients:
500g lean mince
1 carrot, grated
1/2 red onion, finely diced
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 small beetroot, grated.
Rice bran oil, for cooking
Method
Combine ingredients in a bowl, mix well with your hands (wear gloves to avoid the beetroot staining).
2. Roll tablespoons of mixture into balls. 3. Heat a pan on high, add 1-2 tablespoons of rice bran oil and brown meatballs. Remove from pan.
Tomato sauce:
I made a tomato sauce with 2 cans crushed tomatoes, 1 onion, 2 cloves of garlic, 1 tb tomato paste and 400mls of boiling water. I added the browned meatballs, a can of drained kidney beans and 200g of @vettapasta spaghetti to the pot to make a soup. Cooked for a further 10-12 minutes. Seasoned and served with fresh basil and parmesan (optional) (dairy, soy, nut free).🌿
