Autumn days minced meat *

A long list of ingredients but they are mostly spices. This recipe doesn't take that much time to prepare.
The "autumnish" ingredient is the sweet potato, which can be replaced by tofu for a different dish.

For 2 persons

- 300gr minced beef (pork is fine too)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, mashed

- 1 sweet potato, peeled and chopped into about 1cm bits


Boil the chopped sweet potato in salted water for about 10 minutes.

Thoroughly heat up your wok pan and olive oil. Turn down the heat and add the onion and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes, add turmeric and cumin powder, soy sauce, white wine, Marsala, chilly pepper or paste, pinch of salt, pinch of pepper, ginger, and cook a bit more.
