Cooking Steps
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Cut the potatoes (unpeeled) in half and prick all over with a fork. Place, cut-side down, on a plate and microwave on High until just softened, 10-12 minutes. Transfer to an oven tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle with olive oil and season with the salt and a pinch of pepper. Bake on the top oven rack until crisp, 15-20 minutes.
TIP: If you don’t have a microwave, bake the halved potatoes for a total of 30-35 minutes or until crisp and tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, roughly chop the tomato. Finely chop the brown onion. Grate the carrot (unpeeled). Finely chop the chives. Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press).
In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Add the onion and 1/2 the carrot and cook, stirring, until softened, 3-4 minutes. Add the pork mince and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Add the garlic and All-American spice blend and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
Add the beef stock (1/2 sachet for 2 people / 1 sachet for 4 people), the water and tomato paste to the pan with the pork mince. Stir to combine. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until slightly thickened, 4-5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
While the mince mixture is simmering, combine the balsamic vinegar, olive oil (2 tsp for 2 people / 4 tsp for 4 people) and a pinch of salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the tomato, remaining carrot and rocket leaves and toss to coat.
Divide the jacket potatoes between plates and top with the pork mince mixture, shredded Cheddar cheese, sour cream and chives. Serve with the rocket salad.
