Preparation method

Preheat oven to 220°C (200°C fan).

Heat oil in frying pan over high heat and add onion and carrot. Fry gently for 4 mins.

Add mince to pan and cook for 3 mins to brown well. Add garlic, allspice and cumin and cook for a further 2 mins until mince is almost cooked through. Season with salt and pepper and remove from heat.
