  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • 135 g lean beef
  • 60 g red pepper
  • 60 g onion
  • 50 g courgette
  • 100 g tomato sauce
Method
  • 1. Cut the lean beef into pieces. Sweat in a pan at low heat with a splash of olive oil until browned. Set aside.
  • 2. Peel and chop the onion and cut the pepper into small pieces.

  • 9. Serve while hot.

Recommendations

You can use whatever vegetables you like the most (peas, leeks, spinach, etc.). In case of mucositis, prevent the pastry from overcooking or getting too dry, and if necessary, serve with sauce to help with swallowing.
