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 for 10-12 minutes, or until just softened. Transfer to an oven tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake on the top rack for 15-20 minutes, or until crisp. TIP: If you don’t have a microwave, bake for a total of 30-35 minutes or until potatoes are crisp and tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the brown onion. Finely chop the chives.
In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Add the brown onion and cook, stirring, for 3-4 minutes, or until softened. Add the pork & veal mince and cook for 5-6 minutes, breaking up with a wooden spoon, or until cooked through. Add the All-American spice blend (see ingredients list) and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant. TIP: Feel free to add all the spice blend if you want extra heat.
In a small jug, crumble 1 beef stock cube and add the Worcestershire sauce (if using), warm water (see ingredients list) and tomato paste. Stir to dissolve the stock and add to the mince mixture. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
While the mince is simmering, grate the carrot (unpeeled). Finely chop the cucumber and Roma tomato. Shred the cos lettuce. In a large bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, honey, 1 tbs of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the carrot, cucumber, tomato and cos lettuce and toss to coat in the dressing. TIP: Toss just before serving to keep the leaves crisp.
Divide the jacket potatoes between plates and top with mince, shredded Cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream. Sprinkle with chives and serve with the salad.
