Good Morning friends! HAPPY FRIDAY! I hope you have all had a beautiful week.
My 4 children LOVE mince dishes (bolognaise, nachos, savoury mince on top of potatoes etc) and I LOVE putting a heap of vegetables in their dinners! I planned for Nachos the other night and then realised I didn’t have any mince ….whoops! …. I wasn’t going to pack all 4 kids in the car to go and get some so I decided to do a Vegetarian version instead …. it was devoured and no one mentioned the fact it had no mince! I have tested it again both on the stove top and in my Thermomix and I am thrilled to share with you all my recipe …. I hope you enjoy it too!
