This savoury mince is a staple to use in many other recipes or it can be enjoyed by itself. It’s super handy to have in the fridge to throw in an omelette or cheese taco or to add to a salad for protein.
You can use any ground meat you like and add spices like cumin, coriander, chilli, ginger, cinnamon, sumac, paprika and herbs like parsley, basil, oregano, sage, coriander or whatever you fancy to suit your tastes.
The hamburger mince provides the majority of the energy and plenty of protein as well as vitamins B2, B3, B5, B6 and B12, choline iron, magnesium, potassium and zinc. The tomato paste, onion and garlic round out the flavour profile and boost the vitamins A, C, E and copper.
