Lean beef mince cooked with aubergine, cabbage, chickpeas and warming paprika, cumin and cinnamon, then topped with a cool, zesty lemon and tahini yoghurt. It’s a one-pan dinner packed with vegetables. Lean beef, chickpeas and Greek yoghurt make it high in protein, and the vegetables and chickpeas add plenty of fibre.

Storage information
Allow leftovers to cool, then refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Store the yoghurt sauce separately where possible. Reheat the beef and vegetables until piping hot throughout and serve with the chilled yoghurt sauce. Freeze the beef and vegetables for up to 3 months; defrost overnight in the fridge and reheat until piping hot. Make the yoghurt fresh, as it isn’t suitable for freezing.
Tip
For a more substantial meal, add a small portion of wholegrain flatbread, brown rice or another wholegrain carbohydrate.
