Warm and herby, our Brazilian style spice mix contains a heady blend of smoked paprika, chilli powder, basil, oregano and parsley. In this dish, we're using it to bring warmth to beef skewers, then serving on top of a green chilli spiced yoghurt inspired by the famous Brazilian aji verde.

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Soak your skewers in cold water to prevent them from burning.
Slice the sweet potatoes into 1cm thick rounds (no need to peel). Put the sweet potatoes onto a large baking tray. Sprinkle over half the Brazilian style spice mix. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
When the oven is hot, roast on the middle shelf until golden, 30-35 mins. Turn halfway through.

Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
In a large bowl, combine the garlic, remaining Brazilian style spice mix, breadcrumbs, salt and water for the breadcrumbs (see pantry for both amounts), then add the beef mince.
Season with pepper and mix together with your hands. Shape into sausage shapes, 4 per person. Flatten to make koftas and thread a skewer through each one. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince.

Pop the koftas onto a large baking tray.
Bake on the top shelf until browned on the outside and cooked through, 14-16 mins. IMPORTANT: The koftas are cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

While everything's baking, in a small bowl, combine the yoghurt and the green chilli paste. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
Halve the baby plum tomatoes. Halve the lime.
In a large salad bowl, combine half the lime juice with the sugar and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for both amounts). Season with salt and pepper.

Just before serving, add the tomatoes and rocket to the bowl with the dressing. Toss together to evenly coat. TIP: Don't add the leaves too early or they'll go soggy.

Share the skewers between plates and drizzle over the honey (see pantry for amount).
Add the sweet potato rounds and salad alongside.
Dollop the green chilli yoghurt next to the beef skewers to finish.
