1
  • Boil a half-full kettle.

Fry Time
2
  • Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat.
  • Once hot, fry the mince, mushrooms and Cajun spice mix (add less if you'd prefer things milder), 5-6 mins.
  • Break the mince up as it cooks, then drain the fat.
  • Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat. Cook so there's no pink in the middle.
