Ingredients

Serves 4 people

500g beef mince
300g long grain rice
1 large onion, finely chopped
250g mushrooms, sliced
2 peppers, sliced
2 tsp garlic granules
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp dried mixed herbs
½–1 tsp chilli flakes (optional, to taste)
1 tbsp tomato purée
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
800ml beef stock (from cubes)
2 tbsp oil
Salt & pepper
Optional: handful of frozen peas at the end

Method

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large deep pan. Brown the beef mince, breaking it up. Remove to a plate.

Add the remaining oil, fry the onion and mushrooms for 5 minutes.

Stir in the garlic granules, smoked paprika, cumin, mixed herbs and chilli flakes (if using). Cook for 1 minute.

Add the tomato purée and Worcestershire sauce, cook for another minute.

Add the rice and stir to coat. Pour in the stock, return the mince, and season well.

Bring to a simmer, cover and cook on low for 18 minutes. Stir in the peppers for the last 5 minutes. Add peas if using and rest off the heat for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips & Notes

Still one-pan but with proper depth of flavour from the spices and Worcestershire sauce.
Leave out the chilli flakes if cooking for little ones.
Great for using up mushrooms and peppers before they turn.
