Soya mince is a meat substitute made from soya beans. It can be used in various preparations & is very tasty if prepared well. You can use it to make burgers, shepherd’s pie, lasagne, sausages, chilli, samosas, etc. It is especially great for vegetarians. You need to be a little generous with the spices to enhance the flavor. My family loves it so I am happy to share this recipe with you .. Enjoy! J
