CARROT TACO SHELLS

(see tips on page 133)

½ cup (60g) grated manchego cheese

2 eggs, beaten lightly

¼ cup (35g) oat flour

1 Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan. Line two oven trays with baking paper.

2 Make carrot taco shells.

3 Meanwhile, heat oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Cook mince, stirring to break up lumps, for 5 minutes or until browned and cooked through. Add chilli; cook for a further minute. Season to taste.

CARROT TACO SHELLS

Steam or boil carrot for 3 minutes or until tender. Place in a tea towel (see tips on page 133) and squeeze to remove excess liquid. Place carrot in a medium bowl with cheese, egg and flour; stir to combine. Season. Divide carrot mixture into quarters; spread out into 4 x 14cm rounds on trays. Bake taco shells for 20 minutes or until golden; stand on trays for 1 minute. Bend each round over a small bottle to form a taco shape, taking care as shells will still be warm.

Leave to cool on bottle.
