Good to know
Hearty, spicy and quick to make. A pan dish like this is just right when you want something simple that still tastes like a proper meal.
Swaps
Beef mince → lamb mince (also provides iron, stronger flavour); okra → courgette (milder, juicier and also low in carbs); beef stock → beef bone broth (naturally gelatine-rich, contains minerals); onion → leek (milder, also provides fibre).
Allergens
Naturally free from gluten and dairy, as long as you choose a suitable stock. Onion, garlic and chilli can be adjusted for children, sensitive eaters or in pregnancy, depending on what suits them. In pregnancy, cook the beef mince right through.
