    I tried to create a non-messy version of a Sloppy Joes - but it turns out that this really isn't possible! Still, hope you enjoy my version - Sloppy Jens! This fills 6 pittas.

    Ingredients

    • 300g lean beef mince
    • 2 tbsp soy sauce
    • 1 tbsp paprika
    • 1 tbsp olive oil
    • 1/2 tbsp honey
    • 100g red onion, chopped
    • 150g can of chopped tomatoes
    • 3 fresh tomatoes, chopped
    • 1 tbsp tomato puree
    • 100g butterbeans
    • 6 wholemeal pitta breads

    Directions

    1. Mix the soy sauce, paprika, oil and honey in a bowl with the mince. Leave to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
    2. Fry the onions for a minute, then add the marinated mince to brown.
    3. Add all the tomatoes, puree and butterbeans, then turn down to simmer for about 10 minutes until nice and hot.
    4. Slice the pitta breads lengthways to create an opening. Pop in the toaster or grill for a minute on each side.
    5. Carefully spoon the beef mixture into the pitta pockets and serve with salad.
