This is a staple meal in our household. It is quick and easy for me to make after a long, busy day at work and the children love it. It is also so versatile - any type of mince would work here – beef, lamb, pork, turkey… I often use quinoa instead of rice but you can use any grain, and there are lots of different vegetables you can add – broccoli, mushrooms, carrots… Whatever you fancy! It goes without saying that I like to add a teaspoon of Taste #5 Umami Bomb to this mixture for extra deliciousness and often just add whatever frozen veg I have in the freezer, like a handful of peas!
