Instructions
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.
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.
3
- Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Once the mince has browned, add the garlic and Central American spice. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 secs.
- Stir in the passata, stock powder, 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 cook until 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.
