Cook: 20 Mins
Serves: 4-6
From your store cupboard
½ tbsp vegetable oil
2-3 cloves garlic, crushed (optional)
1 tsp Cook by Asda Mixed Herbs
1 low-salt beef stock cube
Ingredients
500g pack Asda Flavourful Lean Beef Steak Mince (Typically Less Than 5% Fat)
1 onion, grated
1 large carrot, grated (approx. 200g)
500g pack Asda Passata
500g Asda Orzo
Method
Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and cook the mince for 5-6 mins, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until golden all over. Season well and remove with a slotted spoon.
Add the onion and carrot to the pan and cook for another 2–3 mins until beginning to soften. Stir in the garlic (if using) and herbs and cook for another minute.
Add the passata, stock cube and 750ml just-boiled water before stirring in the orzo pasta and mince. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cook, covered, for 10–12 mins, adding 250ml more water and stirring half-way through until the orzo is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Serve.
Cook's tip
Kids love customising! Try serving with a bowl of grated hard cheese or cheddar for sprinkling on top and chopped parsley, if you like.
Leftover tip
This tastes great for lunch the next day. Simply store in an airtight container in the fridge and loosen with a splash of water once reheated.
