Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- Pull out a medium frying pan, a medium non-stick frying pan, a small bowl, a sieve & a measuring jug
Get started
- Heat the medium frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 mins, breaking it up with a wooden spoon
- Meanwhile, finely dice the onion. Dice the pepper into 1cm chunks. Finely chop or crush the garlic. Drain the sweetcorn
Simmer the chilli
- Add the onion, pepper and sweetcorn to the beef and cook for a further 4-5 mins, until softening
- Stir in the garlic and the half pack of Mexican spice. Cook for 2 mins
- Add the passata, stock powder and 150ml water (75ml for 1 person) and simmer for 6-7 mins, until thickened slightly
Make the salsa
- Meanwhile, roughly chop the jalapeños and coriander. Add both to the small bowl with 1 tsp olive oil and mix to combine
Cook the gnocchi
- Heat the medium non-stick frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the gnocchi and cook for 4-5 mins, tossing regularly, until golden brown. Season with salt
- Taste and season the chilli with salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash of water if it's a little dry
- When ready, stir the gnocchi into the chilli
Plate up
- Share the gnocchi between bowls, with the salad leaves alongside. Drizzle with the jalapeño coriander salsa (for those who'd like the heat)
