Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 200°C. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
Step 2
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook onion, stirring, for 5 mins or until onion softens. Add the mince and cook, stirring to break up any lumps, for 5 mins or until cooked through. Add the spice mix and cook for 2 mins or until aromatic. Set aside to cool.
