Advantages: tastes good, is nice and healthy

Disadvantages: washing up :)

I have been eating so unhealthy the last while, so I decided that today I was going to make a change in my diet and cook some thing a bit more healthier for myself. I was browsing through the healthy cook books at home and found a chip topped mediterranean pie that actually looked nice and has loads of great ingredients that I liked in it.

The Ingredients that youll need for this dish are:
(serves 2-3 people depending on appetite
1 pepper
200g lean mince
1 onion
2 cloves of garlic
1 400g of tinned tomatoes (or tomato pasta sauce)
2 tbsp of tomato sauce
Mixed herbs
Oven chips (low fat option)
Cheese (preferably low fat mozzerella)

(other vegetables can be used depending on tasted)

Method
1.) Chop all your vegetables to prepare them to be added to cooked mince.
2.) Cook mince in a wok or pan until brown along with onion and garlic.
3.) Add the vegetables to the mince, except for the chopped tinned tomatoes and cook for around 4 minutes.
4.) Add tinned tomatoes to the mix along with the tomato sauce and cook for a further 3-4 minutes.
5.) Put mince mixture into a oven proff dish and cover the top with frozen oven chips and cheese.
6.) Cook in the oven for around 20-25 minutes until the chips are browned and cooked on the top of the pie.
7.) Serve and enjoy.

I was really pleased with the way my pie turned out, as all low fat products were used it was a nice healthy meal with lots of vegetables and flavour in it, though if you use tinned tomatoes instead of a tomato pasta sauce you may find that the dish is a little bit watery, though that could just have been my opinion (or dodgey cooking lol).

If you enjoy dishes like spagetti pomodoro or bolognaise you will probably love this, its a really tastey and different dish to make and isnt to bad for you either, what more could you ask for!

Summary: Great dish, will be making it again :)
