Utensils

•Grater
•Potato Masher
•Colander
•Pot with Lid

Instructions

Make the Mash
1
  • Boil a large pot of salted water for the potatoes.
  • Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peeling optional).
  • Add the potatoes to the boiling water and cook until fork tender, 12-18 mins.
  • Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pot (off the heat). 
  • Add a knob of butter and a splash of milk or water. Mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
Fry the Mince
2
  • Meanwhile, halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.
  • Place a large pan over medium-high heat (no oil).
  • Once the pan is hot, fry the mince and onion until browned, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw mince. Pork is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
  • Use a spoon to break up the mince as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper.
Simmer the Sauce
3
  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
  • Once the mince is browned, add garlic and Central American spice. Cook until fragrant, 30 secs.
  • Stir in passata, Worcester sauce, stock, ½ tsp sugar and 75ml water (double both for 4p).
  • Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer until thickened, stirring occasionally, 5-6 mins.
  • Add the peas and spinach and cook until wilted and warmed through, 1 min. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
4
  • When everything is ready, add a dollop of buttery mash to one side of each bowl.
  • Spoon a helping of spiced pork ragu alongside.
  • Finish with a scattering of cheese.
