NOTES AND INSPIRATION Place con carne into warm whole grain baguettes or into lettuce cups if you're off the carbs. Top with spelt and olive oil shortcrust or smashed cauliflower or sweet potato for a delicious pie. Layer into a home made lasagne topped with whipped ricotta or white beans. Vegetarians can use extra beans and lentils in place of the meat. Chopped Tempeh is also a great addition in place of the beef. Serve alone or over cooked quinoa or brown rice.
