SHOPPING LIST: One-Pot Beef and Vegetable Rice (1 portion)
Meal Plan 6, Monday dinner (quick and cheap, prepare ahead, beef)

[ ] 125 g lean beef mince (5% fat), fresh or frozen
[ ] 60 g long-grain white rice
[ ] 1 small onion
[ ] 1 carrot
[ ] 1 head of garlic (you need 1 clove)
[ ] 60 g frozen peas
[ ] Smoked paprika (1 tsp)
[ ] Ground cumin (1/2 tsp)
[ ] Reduced-salt vegetable stock cubes (you need half a cube)
[ ] Olive oil (1 tsp)
[ ] Salt
[ ] Black pepper

Cupboard check: garlic, rice, paprika, cumin, stock cubes, olive oil, salt and pepper are probably already at home.
Prep ahead: chop the onion, grate the carrot and chop the garlic, then keep them covered in the fridge. Keep the raw mince on the bottom shelf.
Mince tip: if frozen, defrost it in the fridge overnight, and cook it the next day.
