Simple Ostrich Sloppy Joe
with mozzarella cheese & fresh parsley
It might not be the neatest sandwich to eat, but it sure is difficult to beat, Chef! Paprika-infused browned mince, coated in a rich and tangy tomato passata, is topped with melted cheese and closed inside a pan-toasted burger bun. Sided with a gherkin, feta, & greens salad.

SPICED MINCE
Boil the kettle. Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the Onion and the mince until caramelised, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Work quickly to break the mince up as it starts to cook. Add the spice mix and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Pour in the tomato passata and 150ml of boiling water. Simmer until reduced and thickened, 10-12 minutes (stirring occasionally). Add an extra splash of water, if necessary. Season and add a sweetener (to taste).
TOASTED BURGER BUN
While the mince is simmering, halve the burger bun and spread butter or oil over the cut-sides. Place a pan over medium heat. When hot, toast the halved bun, cut-side down, until crisp, 1-2 minutes.
Feta & GHERKIN SALAD
In a salad bowl, toss together the shredded green leaves, the Cucumber half-moons, the chopped gherkins (to taste), a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning. Crumble over the drained feta.
