Salt is supposed to increase blood pressure, but the truth is more subtle. Salt is essential but you need potassium (found in chicken, salmon, dairy, potatoes, tomatoes, beans and of course famously bananas) to EXPEL excess salt. If you eat a well balanced diet with foods rich in potassium you should be able to eat as much salt as you want, but if you eat salty junk food it could be a problem. Incidentally, Lo-Salt which you often find in cafes and restaurants is made up of 33% salt and 66%....... yes, potassium.

Mmmm had this tonight done in slow cooker

Another kiwi here. Mince was such a treat for us. We were farmers and lived on home-killed hoggett. All our veges were home grown and milk and its products were from our 2 home cows. It was the 1950s and we were so far from "the big smoke" Martinborough that were not connected to the electricity. We had a kerosene fridge, and a wood-fired cooking range as well as tilly lamps. When we hot a HUGE generator we felt very modern. They were the most wonderful days. No one locked their doors and everyone looked out for everyone else. Especially the women who used to listen to other people's phone calls on the party-line. No one had secrets. But we kids felt so safe and so surrounded with love and care. Thanks for the memories.

I was born late 1972, from a farming background in Northern Ireland, but I'd be quite happy to go back and live where you grew up. It would suit me just fine. My grandparents' farmhouse had solid stone walls, was thatched back in the 1800s, had no heating, except an oil-fired range in the kitchen, but there was a fireplace in the 'good' room, only had electricity on the ground floor, and had an outside dunny. I remember having to get up in the night to pee in a chamber pot as it was too cold/wet/windy to go to the outside toilet. My grandparents are long gone, but the house still stands and is still in the family, but uninhabited. It's well over 300 years old now.

This made me so hungry , for the mince and for my long gone family . Sitting around the table , 1970s Kiwi family eating mince and mashed spuds and carrots fresh from Dads vege garden ,all of us talking and laughing . One on my comfort food wish list . Thanks for the memories 😁

As a Brit I was raised on minced beef like this, we must have had it once a week with buttery mashed potatoes and some kind of side veg, carrots, broccoli, green beans, leeks etc. Which is really just a deconstructed cottage pie! Minced beef feeds a crowd cheaply and easily, and made properly (with plenty of pre sauteed/softened onion, plus garlic added later, then all the ingredients simmered low and slow with added water for at least an hour before thickening), it's absolutely delicious! Minced lamb is yummy too, and rings the changes as it's quite a different but equally good flavour. Sadly some people have been put off mince because they were unlucky and had it cooked by someone who didn't know how to make it properly. Nothing worse than watery mince, with chunks of raw/undercooked onion and carrots floating in it! That's the end result when the cook rushes the cooking, and doesn't appreciate that onions in particular (and ideally the other veg incorporated, eg carrots & celery), must have a head start on the meat. And as you rightly say, mince may look cooked after 20 minutes, but you won't get a delicious, melt-in-the-mouth taste and texture without simmering it low and slow for around an hour. You understand this traditional British dish, and you did it justice, Bravo! I love that you showed how the crafty addition of a few dashes of this and that from your store cupboards, eg tomato puree, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce etc, really improve the flavour. I part company on the OXO Cube, only because I think there are better stock cubes on the market. In recent years I've become a huge fan of the Knorr 'jelly' pots, particularly good for gravies. They have really authentic, fresh savoury/meaty flavour, and come in different varieties, eg beef, chicken and even an onion gravy version that's great with toad in the hole. I also add a few shakes of garlic and onion powder to my mince, even though there are already onions and garlic in it - I feel it adds a certain je ne sais quoi! I like the frozen peas addition, particularly great if you're making this as a cottage pie, as then it really is a complete meal out of one oven dish with meat, potatoes and a green vegetable. This excellent video just appeared in my feed, as I watch a lot of KZread cooking shows - I was very impressed and am about to check out your other recipes. Many thanks and stay safe & well my friend!

Lovely and simple recipe that everyone likes. I reckon that a few teaspoons of beef Bisto gravy granules would make a nice thickener as well.

Literally almost anything can be added… corn, peas, carrots, Lima beans, cabbage, onion, peppers, cauliflower and broccoli bits, just anything at all! Even cubed eggplant that’s been browned can be added, just add more tomato paste, diced tomato, garlic and oregano, and serve over spaghetti!

Cabbage is a new departure for me and you definitely don't need oil with 12% fat mince as there is already a lot in there. You could brown the mince off slowly without oil - the fat will come out of it - then add the onions and carrots and let them soften slowly. I also find that a half teaspoon of mustard powder goes well, along with the Worcester sauce. Agree with you on the cooking time. Goes well either with mash on top for a cottage pie or with chips!

I add a small amount of flour whilst browning the meat and cook it out as you would any sauce. Thickens it beautifully and gives a shiny finish.

Savoury mince is a popular dish in Australia, I make it often, on toast for breakfast or with pasta/rice for dinner. I use a similar recipe. Yours looks good. Dash of red wine is good too. I must buy some celery salt, never used it. I don't use garlic, hate the stuff.

Also my mum would just chuck in whatever she had available 😋

This is a real classic cooked in traditional fashion. Only thing I do different is fry off the meat before adding the onions to allow the meat to get some extra caramelisation which adds to the flavour. This is also the base for a cottage pie, just need to put the cooked savoury mince into an oven proof dish and cover with mash then bang it in the oven for 20 minutes.

Good point! I have started frying off the mince as you describe lately, it does improve the finished dish. Yes I also use it as a cottage pie filling. It's a versatile meat sauce and pie filling. Thanks for your constructive criticism my friend, there's always room for improvement 😊

“The meat police”. LOL. You crack me up, Pete! So true though. Some of the comments people leave on you tubers cooking videos are sometimes beyond belief. Great recipe. We ate a lot of that, with a variety of different veg added in, one winter a few years back. Good economical meal. Great over mashed potatoes or rice. You’d think I wouldn’t be able to look at another feed of it after that but I still love it (on occasion!😁). What was the name of the herb you added to the carrots/potatoes? It wasn’t familiar to me. Thank you.

You are a great friend to my channel snowpony001, thank you so much for your support! The spice I used in the carrots is ajwain or carom seeds. It has an intense carroty taste and it is perfect with taproot vegetables. I grind it and add it to mashed carrot and swede (rutabaga). You can probably get it online.

I’m from Scotland. Sometimes you can simmer a whole peeled onion slowly in it and then remove and slice and return to the pot also sometimes a handful of oats towards the end of cooking is a nice thickener and makes it go further. That’s my grannies mince. She would do it in the oven slowly. The house smelled fantastic. Yours looks great. Nice one.

I'm British and I regularly have savoury mince. I cook onions and carrots separately then, in a frying pan, I place a little oil and fry off the beef for a couple of minutes with some salt and pepper. Then I add some water, a beef cube and gravy thickener until it's the right consistency for me, add the cooked carrots and onions (sometimes adding peas as well), then serve with mashed or boiled potatoes. It's a very versatile meat and I also make curries with it, cottage pies and various other meals as well. 😀😀
