Ingredients
For the sweet potato
- 300g/10½oz sweet potato, washed and chopped into small cubes
- 1 tbsp rapeseed oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- sea salt and cracked black pepper
For the beef
- 1 tbsp rapeseed oil
- 400g/14oz beef mince
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tbsp sweet smoked paprika
For the hot honey
To serve
- 1 avocado, peeled and stone removed
- 30g/1oz salad leaves
- 200g/7oz cottage cheese
Method
Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6.
Put the sweet potato cubes in a roasting tin. Add the oil, spices and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to coat the sweet potatoes in the spices. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the beef. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium–high heat then add the beef. Fry for 3–4 minutes or until the beef begins to brown. Add the spices along with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Fry for a further 3–4 minutes or until the beef is fully cooked.
To make the hot honey, place the honey in a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Sprinkle in the chilli flakes and warm very gently over a low heat just until the honey starts to bubble. Turn off the heat and leave to infuse for 5 minutes.
When ready to serve, divide the sweet potato between two bowls. Spoon in the cooked beef and add a handful of salad leaves.
Slice the avocado and add half to each bowl before spooning on the cottage cheese.
Finish with a generous drizzle of hot honey and a crack of black pepper.
