• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Cut potato into fries. • Place fries on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. • Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the fries between two trays.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice red onion. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Cook onion, stirring regularly, until softened, 5-6 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium. Add the balsamic vinegar, the brown sugar and a splash of water. Mix well. Cook until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl. • While the onion is cooking, grate carrot. Finely chop tomato. Roughly chop pickled jalapeños (if using) and baby spinach leaves. Drain sweetcorn.
• When the fries have 10 minutes remaining, return frying pan to medium high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook beef mince and carrot, breaking up mince with a spoon, until just browned, 4-5 minutes. Drain oil from pan. • Add All-American spice blend and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add the water and cook until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. • Meanwhile, combine tomato, jalapeños, baby spinach, corn and a drizzle of olive oil in a medium bowl. Toss to coat. Season to taste.
TIP: Some like it hot, but if you don't, hold back on the jalapeños!
• Divide fries between bowls. • Load the fries up with beef, caramelised onion and jalapeño salsa. • Top with plant-based coconut yoghurt and drizzle with plant-based smokey aioli to serve. Enjoy!
