 Turkey Mince and Veg This idea come from a few weeks ago, when I was in Tesco and saw minced beef with butternut squash already mixed in to it. First of all chop up some spring onions and three cloves of garlic, gently fry these in a big pan. Add in to this some chives, parsley, salt and pepper. Break up some turkey mince (you can use any other kind you want, I just went for turkey as it was the cheapest at the time) and add this to the pan. At this stage I added some paprika and 2 Oxo cubes. Add to this some swede and carrott mash, mix this in to the mince. Once the mince has begun to brown add a whole tim of chopped tomatos and mix well. Bring it to the boil and simmer for 15 mins, making sure it don't stick. Turn the heat off and keep the lid on. The built up heat will keep cooking the mince and veg. You can serve this up with whole grain rice or maybe some cous cous. I use the microwave pouches as they are more convenient. You will need to bring the mince up to temperature. Th

 Tasty Chicken Mince Here is a rather nice way to cook chicken mince, and it's got numerous herbs and spices in. The ones I used in this I had in my kitchen, you can adapt according to what you have to hand. In a big pan put your chosen herbs and spices, then gently fry them for 5 minuites  Fennel Seeds Cumin Seeds Garlic Granules Salt Pepper Chives Parsley TIP:  grind your fennel along with the cumin, garlic and salt Then add a glug of water and soy sauce, bring to boil and place lid on the pan. Dice up the  vegetables and add to the pan, then bring back up to the boil then simmer. 2 Peppers 1 large onion Tin Chopped Tomatos After about 10 mins simmering, add your chicken mince and brown. Once the chicken is brown add a tin of chopped tomatoes. Bring to the boil again and turn off the heat, keep the lid on.  As with all one pot meals I make, I leave it for 6 to 24 hours for the flavours to combine and enhance the food. Serve it with either rice, pasta or maybe sweet potato chips.
