Mince is very cheap indeed but take care, some of the so-called economy mince can have as much as 30% fat and gristle minced in. So it does make sense to buy 10% fat or steak mince that has hardly any fat at all. It is slightly more expensive but far better for you and will taste a lot nicer. I had a version of this dish once in Greece very good it was too.
