1½ tablespoons olive oil
½ small red onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed

Method
Toss sweet potato with half the oil, 1 teaspoon oregano and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon in a roasting pan. Spread into an even layer. Cook in a 200°C preheated oven for 20 minutes or until lightly browned and tender.
Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add beef and onion. Cook, breaking up mince, for 5-6 minutes, or until well browned.
Step 3 Stir in passata, ¼ cup water and the remaining oregano and cinnamon. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat. Simmer for 5 minutes or until thick.
Step 4 Bring honey and chilli flakes to the boil in a small saucepan. Remove from heat.
Step 5. To serve, divide beef mixture, sweet potato, avocado, capsicum and cottage cheese among four serving bowls. Drizzle over hot honey. Garnish with parsley. Serve with lemon wedges.
Tips
- Check passata labels and choose the brand lowest in sodium.
- If you’re not a fan of spicy food, omit the chilli flakes from the hot honey.
