  • 1 tsp of chill flakes
  • 1 tsp of fennel seeds
  • Few springs of fresh parsley

Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 190 degrees.
  2. In a pot heat olive oil on low-medium. Add garlic and cook for one minute. Turn up heat to medium and add beef mince and brown. Add capers, chilli, fennel, paprika, salt and pepper and cook for a further minute.
  3. Add tomatoes, bring to a boil, reduce and cook for 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in rice and cheese.
