Ingredients
- CARROT FRIES
- 400g carrots, cut into matchsticks
- 1 tbs olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp cumin
- ½ tsp salt
- Âź tsp black pepper
- CHILLI CHEESE BEEF
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ red onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 500g beef mince
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 400g can diced tomatoes
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 beef stock cube
- 2 tsp fresh coriander, finely chopped
- 400g can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 200g fresh mozzarella, grated
- Fresh parsley, finely chopped
Method
- Preheat oven to 200C and line a tray with baking paper.
- To make the chilli beef mix, heat the olive oil in a large frypan over a medium-low heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened.
- Once softened, increase the heat to high and add in the beef mince. Break down the mince into small bits and cook until browned all over.
- Add in the chilli flakes, smoked paprika, cumin, tomato paste, diced tomatoes and Worcestershire sauce. Crumble over the stock cube and add 80ml water, then season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Bring mix to a simmer, then cover with a lid and cook over a low heat for 45 mins, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened. Note: Add more water if needed.
- Meanwhile, toss the carrot sticks in the oil and spices. Place carrot sticks onto the lined tray and bake in the oven for around 20 mins, or until the fries are turning brown and crisp, tossing them at the 10 min mark.
- Add the kidney beans and fresh coriander to the beef mixture and cook, uncovered, for 10 more mins. Remove chilli beef mix from the heat.
- Arrange the carrot fries on an oven safe dish. Top with the chilli beef mix, then add the grated mozzarella on top. Place in the oven to melt the cheese. Once melted, top with chopped parsley and serve immediately!
