A Dose of Care: Make family meals easy!

Ingredients

– 1kg minced beef (chicken mince or even soy mince can be used)

– 2x cans of chopped tomato
– 2x 50g sachets of tomato paste

– Cooking oil of choice

*Choose a pan that is about 5cm or deeper, rather than a frying pan.

Method

1. Heat the pan to high, with some cooking oil, and add the diced onion. Cook for about 5 min, or until the onion starts going translucent.
2. Add the mince to the pan, stirring to break it up, and cook for 5 – 10 min, or until it browns.
3. Add the cans of chopped tomato, tomato paste, mixed herbs, salt & pepper, and 100 ml of boiling water with the stock cube. Mix well until fully combined.
4. Turn down the heat to medium-low and allow to simmer for 10 – 15 min to reduce.

*This recipe can easily be doubled or even tripled, then the leftovers can be kept in the freezer for quick & easy meals.

**To freeze, allow the mixture to cool and portion out into dinner-sized portions. Allow the sauce to defrost before reheating
