Batch-cooking is a time- and electricity-saver! But eating the same meal for a week isn’t very appealing. With the right tweaks and additions, one batch of curried mince can be turned into three delicious meals. You'll save tons of time, plus mince is one of the most affordable ways to add meat to weekly dinners.
Woolworths' lean beef mince has a carefully controlled fat content. The cattle are free to roam pastures and natural veld, which contributes to the yellowish appearance of fat. They're never given any routine antibiotics or growth stimulants so you know exactly what you're getting when you buy Woolworths' free-range meat. Woolworths' kinder to sows initiative ensures that all pork is sourced from farms that no longer use sow stalls to restrain pregnant sows for prolonged periods.
Batch-cooked curried mince
With a busy schedule and tight budget, making dinner can sometimes feel like an impossible feat. Combine pork and beef mince and add curry leaves, turmeric, garlic, chilli and ginger to make a fragrant and aromatic dish that can be served with a bowl of rice or mash for a quick, no-fuss dinner. Or divide your batch of curried mince and freeze or refrigerate, then make a few tweaks and additions for guaranteed delicious meals in a flash.

Recipe 1: Curried mince-and-sweet potato cottage pie
Addition: Woolworths creamy sweet potato-and-pumpkin mash
This is the quickest cottage pie you'll ever make! Place a few ladles of the curried mince into an ovenproof dish and top with Woolies' ready-made sweet potato-and-pumpkin mash, then bake and serve! Not only does the mash topping make it a heartier meal, but the sweetness balances out the spices in the dish.
Recipe 2: Baked curried mince rotis
Additions: Rotis + spicy tomatoes + double-cream yoghurt
Spoon the curried mince into fresh butter rotis and roll up to create cheat's salomies. Place in an ovenproof dish and top with a can of spicy diced tomatoes before baking. The edges of the rotis crisp up and the tomatoes add extra heat. Serve with a few dollops of yoghurt and fresh coriander for finishing touches.
Recipe 3: Cheesy curried mince rolls
Additions: Burger buns + mozzarella cheese + jalapeño atchar
Everything tastes ten times better with melted cheese. Spoon the curried mince into soft burger rolls and top with slices of mozzarella. Place under the grill, then top with atchar once the cheese melts. Bulk up the meal with a side serving of slap chips for takeaway Fridays – we bet you won't find this at the spaza or corner shop.
