Knobbly Mince variation

For those of you that got the wee beef and lamb recipe book when your littlies started on solids, this is a variation on the Knobbly Mince recipe that's in there.

Ingredients:
Mince - I use around 400g of the good quality (less-fatty) mince
Beef stock - 1 cup (or 1 cup water with 1.5 tsp of stock powder)
Tomatoes - 1 can of diced (I used Italian flavoured tomatoes)
Veges - anything, but I can recommend the following combination:
* 1 orange kumara, grated.
* 1 parsnip, grated
* 1 large carrot, grated
* 1 onion, diced
* 1 cup of mushroom pieces (I used 4 small flat mushrooms, cut into 8ths)
* 2 cups silverbeet, chopped into small pieces
* 1 or 2 courgettes (zucchinis), grated

Method:
1. Fry the onions up in a wee bit of oil, until cooked. Toss the mince on top, and again, fry up until cooked.
2. While the mince is cooking, put all the grated veges in a microwave bowl, add the stock, and microwave for around 4 minutes (basically, until the veges are soft).
3. Add the grated veges and stock to the mince/onion. Cook for a while, stirring everything together. Add the mushrooms, silverbeet and canned tomatoes. Stir, cook.
4. At this point, there tends to be quite a bit of liquid in the pan, so you have two choices - leave it to simmer and let it soak up all that liquid, or drain it off with a large spoon.
