Procedure

1. Heat ghee in a large, deep frying pan or a pot over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until soft and golden, about 6-7 minutes. At the same time turn the oven to 200 C / 390 F.
2. Bring the heat under the onion back to high and add the beef mince in small chunks. Stir, breaking it apart, and cook for 5-6 minutes until browned evenly.
3. At this time I peeled and cut the sweet potatoes – it’s all about efficiency.
4. Add the spices, garlic, salt and chilli to the beef and cook for a couple of minutes together. Add the diced tomatoes and stir through, bring to a boil. Turn to low-medium heat and cook for 20 minutes, with a lid on, stirring occasionally. After 20 minutes, remove the lid, bring the hit to high and cook uncovered for 5 more minutes, stirring a few times.
5. Once the beef chilli is under way, combine sweet potato with sweet paprika, cumin and olive oil and scatter in a large baking tray. Bake for 15 minutes at 200 C / 400 C. Take out of the oven, sprinkle with a generous pinch of sea salt and pepper, toss through and place back in the oven for a further 5-7 minutes.
6. Prepare the salsa salad. Combined all ingredients in a salad bowl and set aside until serving.
7. Cut avocado into quarters and drizzle with some lime juice to prevent any discolouration. Once everything is ready, divide between four bowls and serve with a quarter of avocado each.
