Broccoli & Beef Bake
with cheddar cheese & borlotti beans
Fried onions & carrots, browned beef mince, and rich borlotti beans come together in a smothering of tangy tomato passata sauce as this dish’s foundation. This is topped with charred broccoli and perfected with a scattering of melted cheddar cheese as the top. You’ll hear no complaints around the table tonight, Chef!

LOADED MINCE
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced Onion and diced Carrot until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the mince and NOMU rub. Work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook and fry until browned, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally).
TOMATO SAUCE
Once the mince is brown, pour in the tomato passata and 100ml of water. Reduce the heat and simmer until reduced and thickening, 12-15 minutes (shifting occasionally).
CHARRED BROCCOLI
Place a clean pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil or a knob of butter. When hot, fry the broccoli pieces until charred but still crunchy, 5-6 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan, season and set aside.
BAKE IT UNTIL YOU MAKE IT
Once thickened, mix the drained beans through the sauce, season and add a sweetener. Pour the mixture into a small oven-proof dish and top evenly with the charred broccoli pieces. Sprinkle over the grated cheese and put into the oven until the cheese is melted and golden, 5-6 minutes.
