Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Meanwhile, finely chop onion (see ingredients). Grate carrot. Slice cucumber into rounds. Thinly slice button mushrooms. • Drain sweetcorn. Drain and rinse half the red kidney beans.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook mushrooms until tender, 3 minutes. • Add red kidney beans, onion, carrot and corn and cook, stirring, until browned and softened, 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. • Return frying pan to high heat. Cook beef mince (no need for oil!), breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 3-4 minutes. • SPICY! The spice blend is hot! Add less if you're sensitive to heat. Return veggies and beans to frying pan, then add tomato paste and Mexican Fiesta spice blend and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add the water, vegetable stock powder and half the butter, then stir to combine and simmer until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Transfer filling to a baking dish.
TIP: Add a splash of water if the mixture looks dry.
• In a small microwave-safe bowl, add the remaining butter and microwave in 10 second bursts until melted. • Lightly scrunch each sheet of filo pastry and place on top of bean mixture to completely cover. Gently brush melted butter over to coat. • Bake pie until the pastry is golden, 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine mixed salad leaves, cucumber and drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil in a large bowl. Season to taste. • Divide Mexican red kidney bean, beef and veggie filo pie between plates. • Tear over coriander. Serve with cucumber salad. Enjoy!
