Minced Meat in minutes

A real kwik method to make yummy minced meat in minutes with the most basic ingredients in a microwave.

What you need?

• Frozen or Fresh Minced Meat (approx 250gm)
• 1 large onion 
• 1 large tomato
• 1 large capsicum
• Tomato Puree 
• Ginger Chopped Fine (2 to 4 tbsp)
• Olive Oil
• Salt to taste
• Chili Sauce to taste
• Wedge of lime

* the above quantity is good for one person or two light eaters

How long will it take?
Max of 10 to 12 minutes not including the time you take to chop the ginger, onion and tomato. Since you are cooking in a microwave; while the microwave does the cooking you can still enjoy your TV show or tweet or text on your cellular phone.

How to go about it?

Take a glass bowl preferably with a lid, else use a cling wrap. The whole idea of covering while cooking in a microwave is to make sure you retain as much water content naturally available in the ingredients rather than adding any surplus water and loosing the actual taste and flavors.

In the glass bowl pour in some olive oil (you may use any other light oil if olive oil is not available). Toss in finely sliced onion rings and finely cut capsicum and chopped ginger and cover the bowl. Microwave for 2 to 3 minutes in full power. You will hear a sizzling sound of sauté. Mix and add tomato cut in big pieces and the minced meat, salt and chili sauce to taste. Microwave till cooked well for 5 to 8 minutes with occasional mixing of the ingredients.

Once cooked, serve hot with a wedge of lime and garnishing as per your creativity!
