By Jess Spiro, 8 March 2021

If we’ve said it once, we’ve said it a million times, there’s no ingredient that works quite as hard as mince. But if you’ve mastered your Bolognese, and you’re tired of chilli con carne, here are three fast recipes using mince that we bet you haven’t tried yet.

DILL, FETA AND SPINACH BEEF MINCE PIE WITH POTATO CRUST

Not to be confused with any old cottage pie, this potato-topped beef pie is anything but boring. The addition of dill and feta keeps everything light and satisfying – meaning you can make this for both summer and winter dinners.

CHICKEN DUMPLINGS ON BAKED CHICKPEAS

A hearty substitute for traditional dumplings, this chicken version is an easy way to introduce something new into your weekly rotation. If you don’t fancy the chickpeas, these will work just as well with buttered pasta or even popped into a light chicken broth.
