Ingredients

500g lean Pork mince

3 Garlic cloves, crushed

2 tsp Smoked Paprika

2 Onions, chopped

3 Green Peppers, deseeded and chopped

3 Carrots, peeled and grated (approx 200g)

680g jar Asda Organic Passata

100g Asda Kansas BBQ Marinade, Sauce & Dip

1 tbsp Dijon Mustard

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

6 Sweet Potatoes

1 tsp Oil (olive or veg oil)

¼ Green Cabbage, finely sliced (150g)

4 Spring Onions, sliced

1 Apple, cored, quartered and thinly sliced

½ Lemon, juice only

2 tbsp Light Mayonnaise

25g Rocket

Tenderstem Broccoli

Method

1
Heat a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Once hot, add the pork mince then cook for 8–9 mins or until cooked through and starting to pick up some golden colour, mixing and breaking it up as it cooks. Stir in the crushed garlic and smoked paprika, cook for 1 min, then tip the meat into the slow cooker. Add chopped onions, peppers and grated carrot to the same pan. Cook for 10–11 mins, stirring until softened and starting to caramelise.
2
Tip the cooked veg into the slow cooker then add the passata – use 50ml water to rinse the passata jar and pour in that too. Add the BBQ sauce, mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Season and mix really well. Cook on low in the slow cooker for 3 hrs.
3
When the pork has an hour remaining, heat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas 7, prick the sweet potatoes with a fork and brush with oil. Place them on the oven shelf and roast for 45 mins or until tender all the way through when pierced with a knife. Or cook the sweet potatoes in the microwave for 10–12 mins, checking every 2–3 mins. Once tender, finish in the oven for 10 mins.
4
Combine the slaw ingredients, reserving some of the green spring onions and rocket, in a medium bowl. Season and then stir through the rocket.
5
Load the jackets with sloppy Joe topping, slaw, and sliced spring onions. Serve with broccoli on the side.
