Curried Mince on Rice

(Updated 10/25/21)

Here's an easy and tasty weeknight one-pan dinner that'll feed a family and leave leftovers for the next day (mince on toast anyone?).

Curried mince is inexpensive to make and great for utlilising common ingredients you might already have floating around your pantry or freezer – maybe a tin of chopped tomatoes, half a bag of frozen peas or a lonely brown onion?

It’s super kid-friendly, with a mild curry flavour (although hopefully they won’t shriek at the sight of an odd scattered pea). Kid’s can be notoriously tricky with veggie acceptance, but the more they become a common fixture at meal time, the more they’ll be expected. Important, as they’re so good for us!

I’ve used mince meat as the base of this dish, which is a good source of protein, iron and zinc. If you enjoy a omnivorous diet, enjoy red meat a few times a week as a part of a balanced diet.
