Hi SiLea ? Not sure if anyone can make Manchester sunny but here is one of many recipes for Larb. I always assumed it was made with raw pork but this recipe uses lightly cooked beef. Up to you but in Britain I would ask a butcher to make the mince for me rather than buying pre-minced stuff. Oh ? there?s loads more recipes on the internet??

 

 

 

Just a thought, Larb and Mushy Peas - mmmm
