Ingredients

5 total
  • 500g beef mince (12% fat)
  • 100g tomato purée
  • 3 tbsp pilau rice seasoning
  • 320g trimmed fine green beans
  • 200g bulgur wheat & couscous

Method

3 steps

  1. Step 1

    Heat a large, dry frying pan over a high heat. Add the mince and cook for 8 mins, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in the tomato purée and pilau seasoning, fry for 2 mins more, then add the green beans and bulgur and couscous mix. Stir well, then pour over 800ml just-boiled water and bring to the boil, ensuring the beans are submerged.

  3. Step 3

    Cover with a lid, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 mins. Turn off the heat and leave to stand for 5 mins without lifting the lid – after this, the bulgur and couscous will be soft and the beans just cooked. Season to taste, then serve. Leftovers will keep chilled for 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
