One for batch cooking because it makes life so much easier.
Freeze half or add a side of greens and pack it up for lunch. It will last well in the fridge for 3 days.
I used chicken mince for this recipe because it’s one of the only relatively inexpensive types of mince available in Norway*. If you can’t find it, turkey breast mince will yield exactly the same results.
I tend to serve this with a side of greens rather than rice because the sweet potato & beans are a good enough source of carbs already. See what works for you.
*if you are reading this and the Norway thing is leaving you wondering, I’m currently on a two-month hiatus.
