BAKED POTATO
Preheat the oven to 220°C. Line a baking tray with tinfoil and lightly grease. Cut the rinsed potato in half lengthways – don’t remove the skin! Coat in oil, season, and place on the tray, cut-side down. Bake in the hot oven until the flesh is soft and the skin is crispy, 30-35 minutes.
TOMATO-CHILLI MINCE
Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the mince and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Fry until browned, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the chilli flakes (to taste), the NOMU rub, and the tomato paste, and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Pour in 100ml of water and simmer until reduced and thickening, 6-8 minutes. Remove from the heat, add a sweetener, and season.
GREEN SALAD
In a salad bowl, combine the shredded leaves and the cucumber half-moons with a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Set aside.
SOUR CREAM SAUCE
In a small bowl, loosen the sour cream with a splash of water. Season and set aside.
ALL DONE!
Plate up the baked potato. Top each half with the onion & chilli loaded savoury mince. Dollop over the loosened sour cream. Serve the dressed green salad on the side. Quick and simple as that, Chef!
