Ingredients

  • ½ brown onion finely diced
  • 1 carrot grated
  • 1 courgette grated
  • 250 g butternut or pumpkin 1 cm diced
  • 1-2 cups baby spinach leaves
  • 2 tablespoon oil
  • 500 g beef mince
  • 2 - 3 tablespoon mild curry spice mix
  • 1-1.5 cups beef stock
  • 1 can chopped tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar optional
  • 1 400 ml can coconut milk

Instructions

  • Prepare your vegetables, Finely dice the onion, grate carrot and zucchini, dice the pumpkin
  • Heat oil in a large frypan
  • Add onion, grated carrot and zucchini. Sauté until they have softened and just start to brown
  • Add mince and brown
  • Add the mild curry spice mix (I use my own curry spice mix that I make up in bulk (recipe here) but any mild curry powder mix or paste will be fine. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant
  • Add the tin of chopped tomato, 1 cup of the beef stock and the pumpkin
  • Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes or until pumpkin is tender. The mix should reduce and be relatively dry (if the pumpkin is not cooked you may need additional liquid, you can either use some extra water or beef stock)
  • At this point, you can pause production, cool and either refrigerate or freeze to finish off later
  • To the simmering mince add the sugar (this is optional but I do find it really brings the dish together) Coconut milk and spinach leaves. Cook until the spinach has wilted and the mince mix is thick and creamy with coconut milk
  • Season with salt, pepper and or chili flakes as desired

Notes

Serve this meal with either rice or cauliflower rice
This meal works well with less meat and a tin of either chickpeas or lentils instead (you may need to adjust the amount of liquid used)
My kids love to sprinkle on a few roasted cashews at the table
I use either coconut milk or coconut cream, it works fine with either
