Serves: 4
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

KUMARA

  • 3 kumara
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • Egmont Hot Hot honey

BEEF

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large red onion, finely chopped (you’ll use some of this in the guacamole and cottage cheese)
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 500g Green Meadows Premium Beef Mince
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon coriander
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 cob corn, kernels removed
  • ¾ cup water

GUACAMOLE

  • 2 avocados
  • Juice 2 limes
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 3 tablespoons red onion (taken from onion in beef recipe)
  • ¼ cup coriander, finely chopped

COTTAGE CHEESE

  • 250g cottage cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 2 tablespoons red onion (taken from onion in beef recipe)

TO SERVE

  • Extra coriander 
  • Hot honey 

Method:

Pre-heat the oven to 200°C and line a baking tray with baking paper. Cut the kumara into wedges and drizzle with the olive oil. Sprinkle with the sea salt and the smoked paprika then drizzle with some hot honey and, using clean hands, toss together to coat each of the wedges in the mixture. Arrange on the baking paper, leaving space between each one. Bake for 45 minutes, turning the wedges once during cooking, until golden brown and crispy.

Heat the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed frying pan over a medium-high heat and fry the onion (saving 5 tablespoons for the guacamole and cottage cheese parts of the recipe) and garlic until soft and translucent. Add in the beef mince and continue to fry until fully browned. Add in the spices, sea salt, tomato paste, corn and the water. Stir then cook, stirring from time-to-time until the water has evaporated.

While the beef is cooking make the guacamole by combining all the ingredients in a bowl and mashing together. Season with sea salt and set aside.

Put the ingredients for the cottage cheese into a bowl and mix well.

Divide the beef between 4 bowls, along with the kumara wedges, the guacamole and the cottage cheese.

Drizzle extra hot honey over the bowl then garnish with extra coriander and serve.
