Ingredients

Method
  • 300 g frozen French fries
  • 500 g Woolworths extra-lean beef mince
  • 1 T Cajun seasoning
  • 1 T medium curry powder
  • 1 green pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1 red pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 125 g Woolworths corn-and-coriander salsa
  • coriander, to garnish
  • For the cheese sauce:

  • 250 g smooth fat-free cottage cheese
  • 50 g mature Cheddar, grated
  • 1 T nutritional yeast
  • salt, to taste

1. Air-fry the fries for 20 minutes at 180°C or until golden and crispy.

2. Place the mince, Cajun seasoning and curry powder in a pan over a medium heat. Cook for about 8 minutes, then add the peppers and a little water and cook for a further 2 minutes.

3. To make the cheese sauce, place the cottage cheese, Cheddar, nutritional yeast and a splash of water in a blender and blend. Transfer to a saucepan and place over the lowest possible heat. Do not overheat or the sauce will split.

4. To serve, layer the fries, mince, cheese sauce and salsa on a platter and garnish with coriander.
