What can I do with mince, other that Chilli, Spag Bol or Mince and Potatoes?

Answer 1

This!

Shape the mince with some onion, mushrooms and finely chopped peppers into ball shapes.

Use a fairly large roasting tin and place them inside.
Pour in a tin or 2 of Oxtail soup.
Have some more peppers cut larger along with some button mushrooms as well as sliced mushrooms, and dump them in the soup as well.

Throw it (gently) into the oven for about 30-40 minutes (depending on your oven), until the mince is properly cooked and serve with some finely mashed potatoes.

Answer 2

Make blue cheese burgers - whizz mince in a blender until ground together with 2 finely chopped shallots a little salt and black pepper. If the mince is very lean you may need to add half a whisked egg to the mixture to bind. Make small patties, press onto one pate some blue cheese (danish blue works well) squash another pattie on top and either fry gently or brush with oil and grill. Serve with chunky chips or wedges and a fresh green salad.

4. Now add the cumin powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, red chili powder, half of the coriander leaves and saute well. Add the peas and milk and stir well.

Answer 5

Chop some onions, garlic and herbs together with a little olive oil, season with salt and freshly ground pepper, fold into the mince, and make really chunky burgers... cook by frying at high heat to seal in the flavour, then reduce the heat and continue to cook until the juices run clear. delicious

Answer 6

Tacos is a firm favorite with my lot (serve with sliced cheese, chopped tomatoes, sour cream and salsa) cook mince with peppers and onions and add taco spice to prevered heat

Home made burgers.... fry onions in butter, add seasoning and mix into raw mince. Add peppers, mushroom, tomatoes, bread crumps and grated potatoes as preferred then bind mixture together with and egg. Roll into balls, flatten and fry in pan.

Also try the following mince pakoras, found in my source below

Answer 7

Picadillo:

Picadillo is a traditional dish in many Latin American countries; it's made with ground meat, tomatoes, and regional ingredients. The Cuban version includes olives and is usually served with black beans and rice.

1/4 cup olive oil
1 large white onion, chopped
8 garlic cloves, minced
6 Turkish bay leaves
2 pounds ground beef (15 to 20 percent fat)
1 14 1/2-ounce can diced tomatoes in juice
3/4 cup raisins
3/4 cup sliced drained pimiento-stuffed green olives (from 5-ounce jar)
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 1/2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Heat oil in large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, and bay leaves; sauté until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add beef; sauté until cooked, breaking up with back of fork, about 7 minutes. Add all remaining ingredients. Simmer until picadillo thickens, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Discard bay leaves. Serve picadillo warm.

Makes 6 servings.
