Handy hint
Steam cooking is an ideal medium for cooking and finishing prepared sauce recipes from stage three of the cooking method maximising flavour and minimising shrinkage. The mince can be cooked a day in advance, chilled down and reheated when needed.
Healthy Hint
Added salt is not recommended but if used keep to a minimum . If using oil use unsaturated (olive or sunflower) and reduce the quantity used where possible. This helps to provide a nutritional balanced dish.
