This is my super healthy go-to dinner that is loaded with veggies and flavour.
I absolutely love how quick and easy this is to whip up after work or for a weekend lunch. This is one of my regular weeknight dishes, I have every week because of how healthy, tasty and fast it is to get dinner on my plate after a busy day.
I keep small portions of mince in the freezer so that I can easily defrost it and make this easy meal.
You can mix this dish up, add diced capsicum, carrots, tomato or celery. If you don’t like it spicy, don’t add cajun and instead try some of your favourite spices. You can also throw in handfuls of fresh basil or corriander, if you have it in your fridge.
I hope that you enjoy this recipe as much I do!
