Minced meat recipes

Fry minced meat in small batches in a hot pan without constant stirring so the surface browns properly – browning brings most of the flavour. An overcrowded pan steams the meat grey instead of frying it.

In most recipes beef mince can be swapped for turkey or chicken mince, which has less fat but dries out more easily – in that case add the sauce or stock a little earlier. For a vegetarian version, lentils or broad bean mince work in place of the meat.

In these recipes minced meat goes into pasta sauces, oven bakes, meatballs and woks. Ruokaboksi delivers the mince and spices measured out per portion, so no half-used pack is left sitting in the fridge.
