I really don't know what to call this one. It's always been known as Quick Spanish Beef in my family, but I'm not exactly sure what is particularly Spanish about it. My mum has made this for as long as I can remember as a quick mid-week meal or for a potluck dinner. It is super easy, and most of the ingredients are always on hand.
Name of Recipe: Quick Spanish Beef
Number of People: 4
Ingredients:30 grams butter

Preparation:1. Place the onion and carrot in the TM bowl and chop for 5 seconds on speed 5. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the butter, rice and curry powder. Cook for 3 minutes at 100ºC on speed 1.
2. Add the mince and cook for 5 minutes at Varoma temp on speed 1.
3. Add the soup and water and cook for 20 minutes at 100ºC on speed 1 + reverse, MC out, basket on lid to prevent splatters.

Tips/Hints:Great in summer with a crispy green salad, but even better in winter with crusty, toasted, buttery bread. Also fabulous in toasties/jaffles or loaded on top of a jacket potato with cheese and sour cream.
Freezes well.
Additional veggies can be added if desired. I've made it previously with garlic, peas and corn. Thinly sliced cabbage goes well also.
members' commentsKerrynN - This is fantastic! We have just made it with kangaroo mince, peas, corn and beans and everybody agrees it is delicious! Will definitely be making this again.
johnro - Thanks for posting this very quick and delicious recipe opi2 - I added 2 cloves garlic, some frozen corn and peas as well as a couple of large handfuls of shredded sugar loaf cabbage. Culd not help it when the spoon of sour cream landed on the plate - thanks again!
maddy - A nice and quick dish to whip up! I had to sub a jar of pasta sauce, as there was no soup or passata.
I used:
2 garlic cloves
2 chopped carrots
1 onion
1 red capsicum
550g mince
1 500g jar of Raguletto Basil & red wine pasta sauce
1 tsp curry
200g basmati rice
150g boiling water
Kids woofed it down!
Thanks Andrea
HelenN - Yum this one is great - made this tonight for dinner with baked potatoes, put some beetroot, grated cheese and sour cream on top - even my fussy eater managed to polish his off! Thank you!
CP - A neighbour gave us a pickled cabbage so we had this over the top of a couple of leaves last night. Added the garlic, peas and corn and it was delish. Supervised DH so next time he can make this as it is very easy. Very similar to the Chow Mein in a lot of respects. Will defintely make again.
astarra - YUM!!!! I am very happy with this recipe, 2/3 of my girls are going thru a fussy stage... I made this according to the recipe (using nuttelex in place of butter for a DF option) and all 3 had second helpings!!!!! DH also had high praise ... "I don't think I'd like to know what's in here, but it is darn good." (as he helped himself to a 3rd portion!!)
So a big thank you for this recipe.
Bubbles - My dad loved this. I made it with beef as that's what I had in the freezer but will try lamb mince next time.
merle81 - This was the first dinner I made with my TMX. I only had half an hour to whip up something quick, so I made this and had it with foccacia. The next night we had it on baked potatoes with some cheese and sour cream. Delicious! Will definitely make again. A good one to have in the freezer.
Churchill - it was fantastic and has been filed in my recipe collection. So easy and sooooo delicious!
