Method

  1. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large pan and fry the onion for 8 minutes until softened. Add the beef mince and fry for another 5-6 minutes until the beef has browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon.
  2. Add the garlic and spice mix, cook for 1 minute, stirring, then add the tinned tomatoes. Rinse out the tomato tin with stock and add that too. Season well and bring to a simmer. Loosely cover, reduce the heat and cook for 30 minutes, stirring now and then, until the mince is tender and the sauce has thickened. Take off the lid, add the chickpeas and cook for 5 minutes until heated through.
  3. Meanwhile, make the salsa: mix the fresh tomatoes, cucumber and herbs with the remaining 1 tbsp oil and plenty of seasoning.
  4. Serve the mince piled onto hot jacket potatoes with a spoonful of yogurt, some salsa and a sprinkling of herbs.
