One Pot Beef, Tomato & Halloumi
One Pot Beef, Tomato & Halloumi
You can make this ahead of time and just add the halloumi when reheating. It’s a hearty and comforting dish. Great for the whole family!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 leek white part only, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon italian herbs dried
- 500 g beef mince
- 1 zucchini chopped
- 1 1/2 cups mushrooms chopped
- 350 g stir-through pasta sauce jar of your choice
- 400 g canned crushed cherry tomatoes
- 2 cups chicken stock or veggie or beef stock
- 1 cup risoni pasta
- 1 cup spinach
- sea salt & cracked black pepper
- 225 g halloumi cheese cut into 1 cm thick slices
- basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Heat the olive oil in an ovenproof saucepan over medium heat. Add the leek and garlic and stir for 2 minutes. Add the dried herbs and stir for 1 minute. Add the mince and break it up with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5 minutes. Add the zucchini and mushrooms (and a little more oil if needed) and stir for 3–5 minutes until they are soft and colouring.
- Tip in the pasta sauce. Fill the jar up with water, give it a good shake and pour it into the pot. Add the cherry tomatoes and stock and cook for 5 minutes. Stir through the risoni and spinach and season well.
- Place the halloumi pieces on top (so they aren’t submerged too much in the liquid) and place in the oven. Cook for 30 minutes (or until the risoni is cooked). Feel free to add a little more water or stock if the risoni is soaking up too much liquid.
- To brown up the halloumi at the end, either crank the oven right up to 220°C for 10 minutes or place the pot under a hot grill for 5–8 minutes. Just watch it doesn’t burn.
- Remove from the heat, scatter with basil leaves, season and serve. You can always add some grated parmesan if you want a little extra flavour.
