Our plant-based mince looks, cooks and tastes a lot like the real deal, and stands up well to the cumin, paprika and turmeric in our chermoula spice blend. The currant and spinach-laced basmati provides a touch of sweetness to enhance the Moroccan flavours, and might be the yummiest way to get your greens in.

Cooking Steps

• Finely chop garlic. • In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. • Cook 1/2 the garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add basmati rice, the water (for the rice) and a generous pinch of salt. Stir, then bring to boil. • Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat. Keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10 minutes. • Stir through baby spinach leaves until wilted.

TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!

• When the rice has 10 minutes remaining, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook plant-based mince, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 4-5 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium, then add tomato paste, chermoula spice blend and remaining garlic. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Stir in the water (for the sauce), the plant-based butter and a pinch of brown sugar. Simmer until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.

• Meanwhile, roughly chop cucumber, tomato and mint leaves. • In a medium bowl, combine cucumber, tomato and mint. Add a drizzle of olive oil and the white wine vinegar. Toss to coat. Season to taste.
