Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Boil a full kettle
Chop your potato[es] (skin on) into bite-sized pieces
Top, tail, peel and slice your carrot[s] into thin discs
Add the chopped potato and carrot discs to a pot with plenty of boiled water and bring to the boil over a high heat
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 12-15 min or until fork-tender, then drain and return to the pot to steam dry
Whilst the potato and carrot are cooking, peel and finely dice your red onion[s]
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat
Once hot, add the diced onion with a pinch of salt and cook for 3-4 min or until softened
Meanwhile, peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic
Once the onion has softened, add the chopped garlic and cook for 1-2 min further
Increase the heat to high and add your pork & beef mince and cook for 3-4 min or until beginning to brown, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as you go
Meanwhile, top, tail and chop your courgette[s] into quarters lengthways, then slice finely
Once the mince has browned, add the sliced courgette to the pan and cook for 3-4 min further or until the courgette has started to soften
Reboil half a kettle
Dissolve your beef stock mix and harissa (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) in 150ml [200ml] [250ml] boiled water – this is your harissa stock
Once the courgette has softened, add the harissa stock and your chopped tomatoes and cook for 10-12 min or until the sauce has thickened to a bolognese-like consistency and the meat is cooked through (no pink meat!) – this is your harissa pork & beef mince ragù
Whilst the pork & beef ragù is cooking, strip your mint leaves from their stems and chop them finely, discard the stems
Chop your parsley finely, including the stalks
Return the drained potato and carrot to a low heat with half your natural yoghurt, half the chopped parsley and mint (save the rest for garnish!) and a generous pinch of salt
Mash until smooth – this is your herby yoghurt & carrot mash
Serve the harissa pork & beef mince ragù with the herby yoghurt & carrot mash to the side
Drizzle over the remaining natural yoghurt and sprinkle over the remaining chopped parsley and mint
Season with a grind of black pepper
Enjoy!
