Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 small sweet potatoes, scrubbed and washed
4 medium carrots, 2 roughly chopped and 2 shredded
1/2 medium onion, roughly chopped
1 plum tomato, chopped
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 pound lean ground beef
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Poke each sweet potato a few times and microwave until fork tender, about 10 minutes, rotating about halfway through. Set aside and keep warm.
  • Combine the chopped carrots, onions, tomatoes, garlic, 2 tablespoons of the vinegar, cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, oregano, cayenne and a few grinds of black pepper in a food processor; pulse until coarsely chopped. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, add the vegetable mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water and cook, scraping up any brown bits with a wooden spoon, until the water evaporates, about 1 minute. Add the ground beef and cook, stirring and breaking it up into smaller chunks, until browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Split the potatoes in half, scoop out some of the warm flesh and add it to the beef mixture; stir to combine. Divide the potato halves among four plates and generously fill each half with the beef-potato mixture. Toss the shredded carrots with the cilantro, the remaining 1 teaspoon vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Divide the carrot slaw among the four plates.
