Recipe tips
  • You can make this with minced lamb, or use minced turkey for a lower-fat dish.
  • For a vegan version, replace the beef with a can of green lentils and a low-salt vegetable stock cube.
  • To concentrate the flavours further, you can cook without a lid to reduce the amount of liquid.
  • Freezing instructions: Suitable for freezing once cooked. Can be frozen in small pots for individual portions. Defrost in a microwave or on the hob, over a very low heat until piping hot.
