Mince

[Merlin]

FYI - Lean premium beef mince on special at The Mad Butcher - $8.99 per kg.

Does anyone have any decent mince recipes?

I usually just throw in some mixed herbs, garlic salt and a couple of eggs to make a mince patty/giant meatball but wouldn't mind trying something new.

add worchester sauce in to you mince dishes, gives it a little bit of 'bite' yum

[soundsgood]

Cook 200g lean mince in frying pan with a few spices. Mix in a tin of chopped tomatoes.

Prepare Packet of shiritake noodles (2g carbs per 100g) drained and microwaved.

Mix the noodles and mince together and add a few dollops of lite cottage cheese.

There you have low fat / low carb Spaghetti Bollagnase :grin:

That sounds like it could be a nice change to mince patties. Will give it a shot.

Pay the extra 50c for kidney beans =P~

This is a good starting point for a recipe: Beef Chili

[Merlin]

That chilli recipe looks perfect. Will try cook some up this weekend.

Had something a bit different today with mince.... Congee.

Beef mince and sardine congee... pretty damn good.

And if you're worried about the fat content, just wash your mince. Brown it, dump it in a collander, run under the hot tap til the water runs clear, return to cooking. I'd guesstimate it cuts the fat by at least half

Sooo many thing you can do with it. Those can of flavoured tomatoes are a good start.

Brown some onions, then add mince and brown, then add:

Mexican flavoured tomatoes with some beans (optional add chilli, cumin, oregano or just a $1 packet of "burrito mix")

Italian flavoured tomatoes (opt. add sliced olives, basil, garlic, etc)

Indian flavoured tomatoes (opt. add cumin, coriander seed & chilli, etc)

Moroccan flavoured tomatoes (opt add cumin, raisins, chilli, etc)

Have over rice, pasta, veges, baked potatoes, couscous, nacho chips, whatever is appropriate/easy

Then there's bakes, burgers, meatballs, etc , etc. Goes well with almost all spices, all vegetables, all herbs, all carbs.

Also try some lamb mince, pork mince, chicken mince for something a bit different. Pork mince goes epically with sweet chilli or grated fennel. Lamb mince goes very well with moroccan spice mix, chicken goes well with almost everything. Some butchers/shops do chicken breast-only mince too

The Maggi mince chow mein sachet is pretty sharp- you only really need to use half of it though.
