Beef Moussaka Inspired Rice Bowl
with Cheese and Rocket
Moussaka usually consists of layered veg such as aubergine and or potatoes sandwiched between a tomato-based sauce and topped with a creamy béchamel style sauce. Inspired by the same flavours, this speedy rice bowl is topped with a tomatoey aubergine and beef sauce, then a drizzle of creme fraiche.

Boxes and ingredients are packed in facilities that handles Peanut, Nuts, Sesame, Fish, Crustaceans, Milk, Egg, Mustard, Celery, Soya, Gluten and Sulphites. Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.

- Boil a half-full kettle.

- Boil the rice, 10-12 mins.
- Once cooked, drain, pop back in the pan and cover.
- Meanwhile, heat a frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil).
- Once hot, fry the beef, 5-6 mins. Break up the mince as it cooks, then drain the fat. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat. Cook so there's no pink in the middle.

- Bring to the boil. Simmer, 2-3 mins.

- Share the rice between your bowls.
- Top with the beef.
- Drizzle over the creme fraiche and sprinkle over the remaining cheese.
