DON’T THINK YOUR PICKY EATER WOULD EVER EAT THIS? THINK AGAIN!

DOWNLOAD MY ‘HOW TO GET YOUR CHILD TO TRY NEW FOOD’ AND YOU’LL BE MANY STEPS CLOSER I PROMISE.

Serving suggestion:
- A large dollop of long-term thinking (don’t focus on just one meal)
- A cup of cheerful conversation (no bribery, just connection)
- A pinch of salt (how you should take all food rejection!)
- Lashings of laissez-faire (the less you micro manage, the better)

Serves approx 6-8 servings (I always freeze the leftovers for another meal)

Ingredients:
1 tsbp olive oil
1 red onion
2-3 cloves garlic (crushed)
1/2 - 1 tsp. chilli flakes
500g pack lean beef mince
2 tins chopped tomatoes
2 tbsp tomato puree
1 tin drained kidney beans
3 long skinny peppers / regular ones (chopped and sliced)
1 pack mushrooms (halved or sliced)
Fresh coriander
Spring onions
Red Leicester cheese
Soured cream/natural yoghurt

METHOD:
1. Stir fry the onion, garlic and the chilli in some olive oil until soft (4-5 mins)
2. Add the mince and cook until browned on the outside
3. Add the vegetables, chopped tomatoes, kidney beans and tomato puree
4. Leave to simmer for about an hour, or longer if you have time
5. Chop the coriander and spring onions and grate the cheese to serve as accompaniments along with the yoghurt

Great served with a jacket potato or rice
