  • 400g beef mince
  • 2 tsp Mexican chilli powder
  • 44.40 gm tomato paste
  • 800g can diced tomatoes
  • 892.50 gm salt reduced chicken style liquid stock
  • 1 large swede, peeled, roughly chopped
  • 400g butternut pumpkin, peeled, cut into 3cm pieces
  • 300g cauliflower, cut into small florets

Instructions:
  • In a large heavy-based saucepan over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add mince and cook for 5 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon until browned. Sprinkle in chilli powder and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Simmer partially covered, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes until the pumpkin is tender and begins to break down.
