Ingredients

  • 1 red pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 500g beef mince
  • 3 tbsp Shemin’s Smoky Mexican Spice Blend, or to taste
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste,
  • 400g tin of chopped tomatoes
  • 400g tin of black beans, drained
  • 1 tsp brown sugar (optional)
  • 2 tbsp soya sauce
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • black pepper

To Serve:

  • 300g rigatoni pasta
  • 1/2 iceberg lettuce
  • 2 tomatoes
  • 2 spring onions
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • sour cream

How to make Mexican Bolognese

  1. Heat the oil in a large non-stick pot over a medium-high heat. Add the mince and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until browned all over.
  2. Stir in the red pepper, garlic and Shemin’s Smoky Mexican Spice Blend. Cook for 2 minutes. Then stir in the tomato paste, tinned tomatoes, black beans, sugar, soya sauce, Worcestershire sauce and black pepper. Bring to a rapid simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low and leave to simmer gently (stirring occasionally) while you prepare the serving ingredients.
  3. Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Stir in the pasta and cook for 11 minutes (or according to instructions on the packet), until al dente.
  4. While the pasta cooks, finely shred the lettuce, dice the tomatoes and thinly slice the spring onions.
  5. Season the bolognese to taste, drain the pasta and divide between individual serving bowls. Top the pasta with bolognese, grated cheese, lettuce, tomato, spring onions and a generous dollop of sour cream.
