500 g lean mince 

Ground salt & pepper

1 sachet tomato paste

1 can chopped tomatoes

METHOD

Heat the oil in a large frying pan and sauté the onion, garlic, chilli and carrot for a couple of minutes. 

Add the mince and salt and pepper and fry until the meat is done. 

Stir in the fresh herbs, tomato paste, chopped tomatoes, chutney and Worcester sauce. 

Simmer on low for about 20 minutes, stirring every once in a while. Season with more salt and pepper if necessary. 

Add the baked beans and bring to a boil. 

Make a few hollows in the meat mixture and break an egg into each hollow. 

Cook until the eggs are done (don't stir) and then sprinkle some grated cheese on top. 

Serve immediately, garnished with more herbs if you like and sliced chillies. 

Notes:

If you have, a can of corn kernels are lovely in this dish. 

For a breakfast you can add some fried bacon strips towards the end. 

Herbs like oreganum, coriander or even thyme will work well.
