Serves 4
Kilojoules per Serve 1142
Prep time 25 minutes
Cook time 60 Minutes
Ingredients:
500g Chicken Mince, the leaner the better
400g Tin Tomatos
120g Tin Tomato Paste
1Tbs Worcestershire Sauce
2Tbs Italian Herbs
6 Cloves Garlic, can add less or more to taste
2Tsp Olive Oil
***Optional*** 2Tsp Chilli Flakes
2 Medium Capsicums Diced, about 300g total
1 Medium Brown Onion Diced, about 100g
4 Medium Zucchinis Spiralised, Spaghettified, Noodlefied, you end up using one for each person
Method
- Place the Zucchini in a fine sieve, add salt and pepper to taste, and allow to drain until serve.
- In a medium pot, on a medium high heat, add the Olive Oil. Once Heated add Chicken Mince.
- Brown Chicken Mince, then add Garlic, Onion and Capsicum and cook still soft.
- Add Tomato Paste, and stir through for 2 minutes. Add the Tinned Tomatoes, Herbs, Worcestershire Sauce, and Chilli if using. I find adding a tin full or two of water helpful at this point if you are going to simmer for longer then about 30 minutes.
- Turn stove down to Medium-Low, just enough to maintain a simmer. Cook for at least 30 minutes, longer if you desire, until a thick sauce consistency is reached.
- Add the drained Zucchini to a bowl, ladle the sauce on top, if you have some spare Kilojoules for the day you could add some grated parmesan at this point.
- Serve.
