SAVORY MINCE 500grams mince
1 fairly large onion
2 tomatoes
level teaspoon salt
tsp pepper
2 tsps apricot Jam
Oil for frying (I use coconut oil)
2tablespoons curry powder
(if making curried mince )
saucepan with a lid.
Place tomatoes in a bowl and cover with boiling water - let stand for a minute - remove from water and remove skin. Cut up into smallish pieces and set aside.
Peel onion and chop up. Fry in saucepan till transparent. Turn heat down to it's lowest. Now slowly add the mince 5 to 6 pieces the approximate size of a walnut at a time and mash into the onion until it is completely crumbed.
Continue doing this until all the mince has been combined with the onion. Do not remove saucepan from the heat during this process.
crumbed mince
Now add the chopped tomatoes and mix well. Do not add any water. Do not turn up the heat.
Put the lid on the saucepan and leave to cook on the same low heat, until the mixture runs dry, (about 2 hours). Stir a few times during this process.
Add the spices, jam and 6 tablespoons of boiling water. Continue on same heat until the mince again runs dry.
Add small amount of water, about 8 tablespoons, and continue to cook but don't let it run completely dry as you need a little bit of gravy.
If you want curried mince then add 2 tablespoons of curry powder when you add the spices.
Serve on mashed potatoes or rice, or mix into spaghetti or make cottage pie, the uses are endless.
tip: in place of jam use chutney.
