Sort of Mexican, but not

This was a fluke, as are most things I cook. Basic delicious food is always what I look for when making a meal.

As you're probably learning with my recipes that there isn't exact quantities or measurement, no great cooks I know measure anything. It's all about tasting as you go and instinct and this is how I believe the greatest meals are made.

From memory...this is how I did it.

SHOP IT:

mince meat - probably 500g but if you make more just adjust all the other ingredients

a couple of cloves of garlic

1 small onion

500ml Love and Bones Broth - Original or Beef

1/2 teaspoon of cumin1 teaspoon of sweet paprika

1/4 teaspoon of hot paprika (optional) you could also use fresh chilli instead

1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon and turmeric

the zest and juice of a lime

a cup of sweet potato cut into cubes

a handful of peanuts - toasted

1 cucumber diced

a handful of baby tomatoes cut up into quarters

some fresh coriander and spring onions

iceberg lettuce

COOK IT:

Start by frying off your onion and garlic on a medium heat

then add the meat and sweet potato and cook till they are starting to catch 

add tiny bits of broth throughout the cooking to avoid the mixture burning in the pan and let the meat and sweet potato suck up the liquid 

add your spices and cook them off - about 5 minutes

then the zest and a little of the juice of the lime

test for seasoning - salt and pepper

toast the peanuts and sprinkle with salt

wash the iceberg lettuce cups

once the meat in seperate and delicious and sweet potato is cooked add the tomatoes, cucumber, coriander, spring onions, toasted peanuts and the rest of the lime juice and serve in the lettuce cups
