RUSTIC MASH
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the baby potato pieces and ½ the carrot pieces in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until soft, 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add a knob of butter (optional) and a splash of water or milk (optional). Mash with a fork, season, and cover.

TOMATO & GARLIC MINCE
Add the mince, the NOMU spice blend, and the grated garlic to the pan and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Fry until browned, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Pour in the cooked chopped tomato and 50ml of water. Simmer until reduced and the carrots are cooked through, 10-15 minutes (shifting occasionally).
