I make this recipe a lot.  So much so that our boys remark “again?” when they ask what’s for dinner?  But it’s easy and always hits the spot even if they’ve had it only last week.  It’s a share and talk round the table meal, it’s a sitting in front of the TV meal, it’s a camping phenomenon and it’s a late night beach hut feast. It’s our House Special (… well one of them).

It freezes really well too and when my family sit down together to eat it then I know we are going to talk and giggle and share our day – good or bad but still giggles will feature. 

What’s your family everyday meal?  You know, the one that “just-works” no frills no spills? 

This will serve you well as a quick family meal with enough vegetables in it to make you feel you’ve covered all the bases.  Tasty and easy.

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

In a large saucepan, gently fry the onion, celery, carrot and garlic in the oil until softened.

Turn up the heat and add the pork mince stirring until coloured.  Add the cumin and paprika and fry for a few minutes.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook on a low heat for about 20 minutes.

Tip: Tastes even better if cooked in advance and reheated when needed.

Serve with sour cream dip, grated cheese, wraps and tortilla chips.
