Ingredients
- 1 pack Future Farm Mince
- 3 whole peppers, red or yellow, halved lengthwise and de-seeded
- 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon cumin

Method
- Preheat oven to 190C
- Brush the de-seeded and halved peppers lightly with olive oil. Bake face down on a baking tray for 15 minutes.
- Fry the garlic gently in olive oil for 1 minute then add the Future Farm Mince and spices. Cook stirring for about 5 minutes until the mince has broken up and browned evenly. Allow to cool slightly.
- Mix the drained beans, sweetcorn, fresh coriander, season and stir into the cooked quinoa. Add in the cooked mince and mix well.
