Roasted Sweet Potatoes Topped With Spiced Ground Beef And Pine Nuts Recipes

ROASTED SWEET POTATOES TOPPED WITH SPICED GROUND BEEF AND PINE NUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Poke holes all over the sweet potatoes with a fork. Rub them with 2 tablespoons of oil and sprinkle with salt. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the potatoes are soft and juices bubble out of the holes, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, combine the raisins and lemon zest and juice in a small bowl. Set aside to let the raisins plump.
• To make the spiced beef, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and season with salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are translucent and softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the beef, coriander, cinnamon, cumin, oregano and red pepper flakes and season with salt. Continue to cook, breaking the beef up with a wooden spoon, until the meat is browned and no longer pink, 6 to 7 minutes.
• Pour in the broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Remove from the heat and stir in the raisin and lemon mixture.
• To plate, split open the tops of the potatoes with a knife, top with the beef and garnish with the pine nuts, feta and parsley. Enjoy!
