Ingredients

Serves 6 | Gluten-free option available

• 1 large (100g) brown onion, finely diced

• 3 cloves (17g) garlic, finely diced

• 1 tbsp (15mL) extra virgin olive oil

• 1 large (150g) carrot, grated

• 1 medium (220g) zucchini, grated

• 1 stalk (60g) celery, finely diced

• 2 cups (60g) spinach

• 1 tsp (4g) dried oregano or mixed herbs

• 500g extra lean beef mince

• 2 cans (800g) diced tomatoes

• 2 tbsp (30g) tomato paste

• 375g light ricotta

• 5 (125g) mountain bread wraps

• ½ cup (50g) light grated mozzarella cheese

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C and prepare your ingredients: finely dice the onion, garlic, and celery, and grate the carrot and zucchini.

2. Cook the filling: Heat olive oil in a large non-stick fry pan over medium-high heat. Sauté the garlic and onion for 3 minutes until softened. Add the beef mince and cook until browned.

3. Add the veggies: Stir in the grated carrot, zucchini, celery, and spinach. Cook for another 3 minutes, then add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and dried herbs. Bring to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. Layer it up: Spoon a thin layer of the mince sauce into the base of a medium baking dish. Place a mountain bread wrap on top, followed by more mince sauce and dollops of ricotta. Repeat the layers until you’ve used all the ingredients, finishing with a layer of mozzarella cheese.

5. Bake to perfection: Pop it in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden.
