Carbs
Starchy foods like bread, breakfast cereals or potatoes are a good source of carbohydrate and should make up just over a third of the food you eat. When eaten, carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, which is used to fuel cells in your body like brain and muscle cells. Some people think starchy carbohydrates are fattening, but gram for gram it contains less than half the calories of fat. Choose whole grain or high fibre varieties where you can as they often contain more nutrients.

Protein65.6g
Protein
All cells and tissues contain protein, so it’s essential for growth, repair and good health. Protein from animal sources such as meat, fish, eggs and dairy products contain all the essential amino acids (the building blocks of protein) needed by the body. If you're vegetarian or vegan, you can get the protein you need through eating a variety of different plant sources such as pulses, nuts and cereals.

Salt1.79g
Salt
A small amount of salt is needed in your diet but too much can raise your blood pressure, which increases risk of health problems such as heart disease and stroke. Adults shouldn’t eat more than about 1 teaspoon (6g) per day – and that includes salt already in the foods you eat, not just the salt you add, so check nutrition labels on food packs.

- Preheat oven to 180oC, gas mark 4.
- Fry the mince over a high heat until browned, remove from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan fry the onion, garlic and pepper for 3-4 minutes.

- Return the mince to the pan along with the tomato passata (or tinned tomatoes), puree, beans and stock, cook over a low heat for 15-20 minutes.
- Meanwhile blitz up ¾ of the oats until a fine consistency, then combine with the flour in a mixing bowl.
- Rub in the butter until it resembles breadcrumbs.
- Stir in the beaten eggs and add the milk one tablespoon at a time, mixing until it resembles a thick batter.
- Place the chilli into an ovenproof dish then dot 8-10 tablespoons of the batter on top, making sure they don’t touch.
- To glaze, brush the cobbler with some beaten egg then scatter over the remaining oats.
- Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden.
