This is a modern twist on an old favourite. I can remember arriving at my Nana's house and there would always be something bubbling away on the stove top.
Mince on toast is a comfort food that definitely hits the spot. Here I have added a few ingredients that my Nana wouldn't of heard of - like miso, or sauerkraut, or probably even cayenne.
On a chilly weekend this absolutely hits the spot.
Nourishing goodness.
Serves 4 - 6, takes about 45 minutes to cook from start to finish.
Ingredients;
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 finely diced onion
1 medium carrot finely diced
1 stalk of celery finely diced
500 gms beef mince
2 cups beef stock
1 tbsp arrowroot ( tapioca flour) in 1/4 cup of water
1 tsp - 1 tbsp miso paste ( I use Urban Hippie Miso)
Salt and pepper to taste.
1 tbsp sauerkraut or kim chi per person
1-2 pieces of gluten free toast per person ( I used Thoroughbread bread)
Optional extras
Pinch or cayenne pepper
Poached or fried egg on top
Couple dashes of Braggs sauce
Method;
Put 1 tbsp of olive oil in a heavy pan on a medium heat, brown the mince in 2-3 batches, be careful no to overload the fry pan as it will broil the mince instead of frying. Set the mince to the side in a separate bowl.
Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the fry pan and saute the onion, carrots and celery till soft.
Add the mince back into the pan along with the beef stock, bring to the boil and reduce heat to a simmer, simmer for 20 - 30 minutes until the stock has reduced down.
Keep in mind the longer you let a sauce simmer the better the flavour is enhanced.
Add the tapioca in water to the simmering mince and stir in to thicken.
Take off the heat stir the miso through the mince.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. I love using Braggs sauce to add a little extra flavour to the mince, you could also use Worcestershire sauce.
If having an egg, either poach or fry the egg.
Plate up with toast. Then add the Sauerkraut or Kim chi on the side, stir through as you are eating.
Enjoy this nourishing easy meal, this is really versatile for either breakfast, lunch or dinner.
It will keep in the fridge for a few days and is very handy for a meal on the hop.
