Directions:
- In a large saucepan of 4 cups water, cook rice according to package instructions; set aside.
- Heat a large stockpot over medium high heat and add ground beef. Cook until beef has browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the beef as it cooks. Drain the excess fat and then add the oil, onions & garlic & sauté until the onion becomes translucent. Stir in the seasoning, passata & water and cook for a further 15 minutes, until the liquid reduces producing a rich meat sauce.

** After slicing the avocado, place it in some lemon juice for a few minutes to prevent it from browning before packing it into sealed containers.
