Method
Cut the zucchini into long spaghetti-like strands with a peeler or spiralizer. Grate the carrot, chop the tomato and finely chop the onion and garlic.
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and soften the onion and garlic for 3 minutes. Add the minced beef and brown it for 6-8 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon.
Stir in the carrot, tomato, crushed tomatoes, cumin and a pinch of dried chili; simmer gently for 12 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
Add the zucchini and cook for 2-3 minutes more, just until tender but still firm.
Serve the zucchini topped with the meat sauce, a spoonful of Greek-style yogurt and grated cheddar.
