Instructions

Quick Prep

1

Boil a half-full kettle.
Once boiled, pour the water into a saucepan with ¼ tsp salt on high heat. Boil the rice, 10-12 mins.
Once cooked, drain, pop back in the pan and cover.

Get Frying

2

Meanwhile, heat a frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil).
Once hot, fry the beef mince and sliced mushrooms, 5-6 mins. Break up the mince 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.
While the beef and mushrooms cook, open the remaining sachets. Drain and rinse the mixed beans.

Flavour Time

3

Add the peri peri seasoning, passata, beans, sugar and water (see pantry for both) to the beef. Cook, 4-5 mins.
Add the spinach in handfuls, making sure it's piping hot, 1-2 mins.
Remove from the heat. Stir through the smoky base paste, butter (see pantry) and half the cheese.
Taste and season with salt and pepper. Add a splash of water if it's too thick.

Dinner's Ready!

4

Share rice between serving bowls.
Top with the smoky peri peri beef and veg. Sprinkle over the remaining cheese.
