1tbspminced garlic
500gminced beef
3tbspplain wholemeal flour
1tbspworcestershire sauce
1 tspbeef stock powder (reduced salt)
2tbsptomato paste (no added salt)
1tbspsoy sauce (reduced salt)
1/2 cancarrots, rinsed and drained
1/2canpeas, rinsed and drained
70glight tasty cheese (grated)
2cupscauliflower rice (frozen)
Method
- Chop carrots into small cubes.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet or large frying pan over medium heat. The large pan is crucial for getting the meat, added later, nice and brown.
- Add the diced onion to the pan.
- Sauté for 4-5 minutes or until the onion has softened and beginning to caramelise.
- Add the garlic and cook, stirring often for another 1 minute.
- Add the beef mince and cook, stirring often and breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned all over.
- Sprinkle the flour all over the top and mix well. Let it cook for another 2 minutes.
- Add the worcestershire sauce, beef stock, tomato paste and salt-reduced soy sauce. Stir well to combine. Bring it to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes until it thickens.
- Add the canned/frozen vegetables and simmer (not boil) a further 2-3 minutes until hot.
- Once the mixture has thickened enough, cool until steam is no longer rising from the mixture and spoon onto a slice of bread (we recommend 90g) and cover with another slice of bread to make a sandwich.
- Cover the top slice of bread sparsely with 7g of light tasty grated cheese (reduced fat).
- Wrap the sandwich in baking paper and place in a sandwich press until crunchy and the cheese is golden brown.
