Hi it’s Sian here!
We’ve had a few people asking about everyone’s favourite mince recipes lately. I thought I’d take a couple of minutes to compile them in an easy to access recipe guide, as mince can be used for so much more than Chunky Spaghetti Bolognese. Please feel free to comment with your favourite mince recipes.

SM Chilli Con Carne with 1kg of mince
Mince type: beef
Also works with: chicken
This recipe uses diced gravy beef in the book, but for the times when you have some budget mince to use and crave some epic Mexican… mince is perfectly acceptable.
Cook the mince in the simmering basket for 20 minutes at a time (2 x 500g Beef mince for 20 mins each in the basket), like the Chunky Spaghetti Bolognese recipe. The mince replaces the gravy beef and can be mixed at the end sp 3/reverse to remove some of the chunks.

This recipe is exclusive to ‘A Little Taste of Spain’
Mince type: pork
Also works with: beef & chicken
This comforting stew found in the cookbook, ‘A Little Taste of Spain’ is pulled together with some basic pantry staples.
Remember if you are changing the mince type to watch the cook times. Pork and beef mince will be a bit fattier than chicken mince, so watch that any lean mince doesn’t dry out. This meal is great for bulking up with vegetables in the varoma, just make sure you cut the vegetables small and check that they are cooked.

Thermomix San Choy Bao
Mince type: pork
Also works with: chicken, beef and turkey
Dinner on the table within 20 minutes is often unheard of, but this simple flavour packed dinner will have you going back for seconds. If you need to increase the quantities to feed a couple more mouths, I recommend moving it to the stovetop.
Make sure you add your own condiments and add-ons to your own San Choy Bao. Chilli and fresh coriander is a must for me.
If you don’t love the taste of mushrooms, I cook this to the recipe and it hasn’t had a mushroom taste yet. Just remember to remove the moisture absorbing sachet before blitzing your shitake mushrooms.

The post What to make with… Mince! appeared first on skinnymixers.
Mushy peas are traditionally served with fish and chips in the UK, but here in South Australia we like our mushy peas with meat pies! Give a reverse Pie Floater a go this Australia Day using the 
Meat pies are one of my favourite cheeky foods, I have very fond memories of getting a meat pie with my Dad after watching the races as a child. Unfortunately, the pastry doesn’t like me – but this is a great way to get the taste of a perfect Australian Meat Pie without the pastry – or with if you like 
Here in South Australia we have a tradition of enjoying a Meat Pie Floater, which is a pie served floating in pea soup – top a pie this Australia Day with my 
Persian Love Cake has been a recipe I have wanted to try for over 4 years, after a Skinnymixer suggested it would be a wonderful gluten free recipe for the blog. With Valentines Day around the corner, it seems like a fitting recipe to share with you all. I have included both dairy and dairy free options for those with dietary requirements. The story behind the name Persian Love Cake is also a beautiful, but tragic love story that you can read about 
Spanish Baked Eggs are an amazing, healthy and hearty breakfast or lunch option for those who like a little more substance to their meals! 
With the recent success of the Meat Pie Filling, I wanted to try my hand at a fish pie recipe just in time for Easter – and it is delicious! 
I had a beautiful dinner with a friend at a pub this week, and trying to choose a ‘healthier’ option, I opted for the lamb rump drizzled with basil oil. I thought the basil oil was a wonderful way to make such a simple meal a little bit fancier and yummier – and I knew immediately I was going to turn this in to a blog recipe for you all. This recipe is well timed with the beautiful fresh basil growing in my 
Espresso Martini is Mr. Skinnymixers favourite cocktail, and with the recent success of the Watermelon Gin Fizz I thought it was a great time to create a cocktail for the cooler weather. 
To celebrate Mothers Day 2018, I thought some gluten & dairy free pancakes would be appreciated by all of the mothers out there who can’t have gluten or dairy. I am not going to pretend that these are anything like the traditional pancakes made with flour and milk, but they are really delicious and a wonderful substitute if you can’t have the real thing. Love Nik xx
With the 50 year celebration of the Big Mac filling our bellies and clogging our hearts, I thought it was the perfect time for me to tackle reverse engineering the Golden Arches special sauce. Moving towards a healthier lifestyle doesn’t mean that you have to miss out on the essence of your favourite treat meals – I recommend whipping up a batch of the Breakfast Sausage Patties in 
Seed butter is difficult to come by in the supermarkets, and it’s nearly impossible to find one that tastes great. This is a delicious nut-free substitute for nut butters in smoothies, as a condiment or binding agent in some gluten free baking. This is also a great lunchbox snack or spread, as it is school friendly. I hope you enjoy it! Love Nik xx
