Heat a large saucepan or big deep frying pan, without any oil. When the pan is hot add the oil, swirl it around and immediately add the mince. Stir-fry until crumbly.
Spoon mince out of the pan. Add the onions, pre-seasoned with Green Onion Seasoning, to the pan with a little more oil and cook until soft. Add flour, Stock Powder and garlic and stir through. Add tomatoes, water, cumin, Chilli & Garlic Seasoning and lemon juice. Return meat to the pan.
Simmer very slowly for 20 minutes. Add butternut and beans. Simmer for 15 – 20 minutes until butternut is soft. Add Peri-Peri Sauce and Coriander Pesto. Warm through. Taste for seasoning. Serve with rice and seasonal vegetables or salad sambals.
