Savoury Mince

For a quick and simple midweek dinner, savoury mince is a real family favourite. It makes a nice change from classic Bolognese sauce and is just as comforting.

This recipe is a great way to add extra vegetables and fibre to your meal, helping support gut health and digestion. It’s filling, balanced and ready in under 30 minutes.

Make extra — it tastes even better the next day and is perfect for easy lunches.

Why this works

• Beef mince provides bioavailable B vitamins, iron and zinc to support energy production.

• Bone broth adds collagen and minerals to support gut lining integrity.

• Onions, carrots, celery and peas increase fibre diversity for better gut health.

• Olive oil provides anti-inflammatory polyphenols and supports hormone balance.

  Tip for Extra Nutrition

  If you can, look for beef mince that contains liver, or ask your butcher to add a small amount. You won’t really taste it, but it will boost the nutrition.

  Adding liver increases:

  • Iron for energy

  • Vitamin B12 for the nervous system

  • Folate for healthy cells

  • Vitamin A for immunity and skin health

  • Zinc for immune support

  • Choline for brain health

  It’s a simple way to make this everyday meal even more nourishing.
