Savoury Mince with Curry

Brown the mince: Increase the heat to high and add the beef mince. Stir constantly, breaking up any lumps with a wooden spoon, until the mince is fully browned.
Incorporate the flavors: Stir in the tomato paste, curry powder, and salt, mixing well. Add the grated zucchini, frozen peas, Worcestershire sauce, and beef stock. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Thicken the sauce: Combine plain flour with ¼ cup water or stock, stirring until smooth. Pour this mixture into the pan and stir well. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the sauce has thickened. Adjust the consistency by adding more flour for a thicker sauce or more stock for a thinner sauce.
Taste and adjust: Sample the dish and adjust the seasoning, adding more curry powder, salt, or Worcestershire sauce as needed.
Serve: Dish out the savory mince over creamy mashed potatoes, rice, pasta, or buttered toast.Notes
Spice it up: Use hot curry powder or a pinch of chili flakes for a spicier version.
Swap the protein: Replace beef with chicken, turkey, lamb, or plant-based mince for a different flavor.
Add more veggies: Include diced potatoes, mushrooms, green beans, corn, or kale to bulk up the dish.
Low-carb option: Substitute cauliflower rice for regular rice or mashed potatoes.
Make-ahead: Prep the veggies and store them in an airtight container until ready to cook.
Freezer-friendly: Freeze portions in airtight containers for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave.Nutritional Information
