    Step 5

    Put the wings into a baking dish (A clay or ceramic dish is best, as it retains the heat longer and the cooked meat becomes beautifully tender). Bake this in the oven for 20-25 minutes. Five minutes before the end of baking, you can increase the temperature for a crispier skin.

Spaghetti with beef and vegetable mince
RecipeSpaghetti with beef and vegetable mince

You will love this delicious mince dish, loaded with veggies, from the first bite. This beef and vegetable mince recipe is easy, quick and super tasty. It works perfectly for busy weekdays, it is fairly inexpensive, and a batch of this recipe can last a few days. The nutritional value of this dish is much better than plain spaghetti and mince dishes, because it is packed with the variety of vegetables. Feel welcome to experiment and add your favorite vegetables in addition or instead of the ones we recommend using in this recipe. Adding vegetables to the mince is a great trick to extend ground meat if you are trying to live on a budget. Eggplant is great at imitating the texture of the ground meat and it also absorbs the meaty flavor very well. Carrots and onions add a subtle sweetness and a lot of nutrition to the dish. This beef and vegetable mince should freeze well, if you want to make a double batch and have it on hand, or if you want to save the leftovers for another busy night later in the month.
