Instructions

1

a) Boil a full kettle. Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peel first if you prefer). 

b) Pour the boiled water into a large saucepan with 0.5 tsp salt. 

c) Once boiling, add the potatoes to the water and cook until you can easily slip a knife through, 15-18 mins.

d) Meanwhile, halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.

2

a) While the potatoes cook, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

b) Once hot, add the plant-based burgers and onion. Use a spoon to mash into a mince-like texture as it cooks. Cook until browned, 5-6 mins.

c) Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Ensure they're piping hot throughout.

3

a) Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

b) Once the mince is browned, add the garlic and Central American style spice mix. Stir-fry for 30 secs.

c) Stir in the passata, red wine stock paste, Worcester sauce, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts).

d) Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 5-6 mins.

4

a) Once the potatoes are cooked, drain in a colander and return to the pan, off the heat.

b) Add the butter (see pantry for amount) and a splash of milk (if you have any) and mash until smooth. 

c) Season with salt and pepper, then cover with a lid to keep warm.

5

a) Once the tomato sauce has thickened, stir through the peas.

b) Cook until piping hot, 1-2 mins.

c) Stir half the hard Italian style cheese into the sauce. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed, then remove from the heat.

6

a) When everything's ready, serve the spiced veggie mince ragu alongside the buttery mash.

b) Finish by sprinkling over the remaining cheese.

Enjoy!

Step 2 MOD: If you’ve chosen the veggie version, heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Cook the plant-based burgers and veg for the same amount of time. Use a spoon to mash the burgers into a mince-like texture as they cook. IMPORTANT: Ensure they're piping hot throughout.
