Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7 and boil half a kettle
Cut your potatoes (skins on) into thin fries, then add them to a large baking tray (or two!) with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a generous pinch of salt and give everything a good mix up
Put the tray[s] in the oven for 20-25 min or until the fries are golden and starting to crisp

While the fries are cooking, peel and slice your shallot[s]
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium heat
Once hot, add the sliced shallot and your ground cumin and cook for 1-2 min
Increase the heat to medium-high

Add your meat-free mince (remove the paper if required!) to the pan and cook for 3-4 min, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as you go
Tip: Try not to stir too often so the mince gets nice and brown!
Meanwhile, dissolve your vegetable stock mix in 250ml [325ml] [400ml] boiled water
Add your tomato paste, chipotle paste (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and a pinch of sugar, then mix to combine – this is your spicy stock

Add the spicy stock to the meat-free mince
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 4-5 min or until the sauce has thickened and the meat-free mince is cooked through
Once done, remove the pan from the heat and set aside for later – this is your meat-free mince chilli

While the chilli is cooking, combine your mayo with the zest and juice of half your lime[s], 1 tbsp [1 1/2 tbsp] [2 tbsp] water and a generous pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl – this is your zesty slaw dressing
Grate your cheddar cheese

Once the fries are done, push them into 1 pile per person on the baking tray[s]
Top each pile with the meat-free mince chilli and then the grated cheese, and return the tray[s] to the oven for 5 min or until the cheese has melted
Once done, set aside for a few minutes to cool slightly – these are your loaded meat-free mince chilli cheese fries

Top, tail, peel and grate your carrot[s]
Wash your lettuce, then pat it dry with kitchen paper and shred finely
Combine the grated carrot, shredded lettuce and zesty slaw dressing then give everything a good mix up – this is your zesty slaw
Cut the remaining lime into 1 wedge per person

Serve the loaded meat-free mince chilli cheese fries with the zesty slaw to the side
Garnish with a lime wedge
Enjoy!
