Ingredients for 1 serving
170 g | extra lean beef mince | 116 g | mushrooms | 46 g | onions, chopped | 1 | garlic clove, chopped or crushed | 10 g | tomato puree | 1 tbsp | Walden Farm thick & spicy bbq sauce | 39 g | cheddar cheese, grated | 6 g | olive oil | 50 ml | water | 46 g | reduced fat sour cream | 1 tsp | smoked paprika | 149 g | mixed salad leaves |
Method
- Pre-heat your oven to 190°C fan/400°F and line a baking sheet with non stick foil.
- Take the mushrooms and remove the stalks, but set these aside.
- Bake the mushrooms for approximately 5-10 minutes until they start to soften.
- When they have started to release their natural juices remove them from the oven but keep the oven on.
- Put a non stick frying pan onto the heat, add the olive oil and start to brown the mince.
- When I say brown I actually want you to caramelise it. It will increase the flavour.
- Chop the mushroom stalks and add these to the pan along with the onion and garlic and give the ingredients a good stir.
- When the mince has started to caramelise add the tomato puree. This needs to be cooked out as this is going to thicken the mixture so give this a good mix in the pan.
- Add the water, stir through and allow to simmer for a few minutes until the liquid has halved in volume.
- Stir through the bbq sauce and remove the pan from the heat.
- Arrange the mushrooms in a small ceramic ovenproof dish, spoon over the mince mixture and top with the grated cheddar.
- Bake this in the oven for approximately 10-15 minutes or until the cheese has melted and started to brown.
- Serve with a dollop of sour cream with a sprinkle of smoked paprika and a bowl of salad leaves.
Recipe Notes
- Make sure your mince is extra lean, less than 5% of fat per 100g.
- For those on 2018 BC plans, Walden Farm sauces may still be used as they don’t contain any calories or add any nutritional value, just flavour.
- Why not batch cook this recipe and have a portion ready for tomorrow too!
