  1. CHAR CAULI & CORN

    Place a deep pan over medium high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the cauliflower pieces and corn until charred, 4-6 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan.

  2. COOK THE MINCE

    Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the mince and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Fry until browned, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally).

  3. COOK THE SAUCE

    Add the sliced onion and carrot pieces to the pan. Fry until the onion is soft, 4-5 minutes. Add the grated garlic, the Mexican spice, and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Pour in the tomato passata and 150ml of water. Simmer until reduced and thickening, 10-12 minutes. Add the charred cauli & corn and a sweetener, and mix to combine. Season and sprinkle over the grated cheese. Cook until the cheese is melted, 2-3 minutes.

  4. SOME PREP

    In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, the chopped jalapeños (to taste), ½ of the sliced chives, and seasoning.

  5. DINNER IS READY
