  1. 1

    Brown the mince in a pan over medium-high heat for 4–5 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks.

  2. 2

    Add the onion and garlic and soften for 3–4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir in the tomatoes, stock, ground coriander, thyme and chilli flakes, and simmer for 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the rice and simmer for a further 12–15 minutes until the rice is tender.

  5. 5

    Taste and adjust the seasoning.

  6. 6

    Stir in the crushed walnuts and finish with fresh coriander.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves 25 g coriander, 380 g beef mince and ¾ tin of chopped tomato. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.

Good with the rest of your week
