Ingredients

• 300g ground lamb
• 400g sweet potatoes
• 100g kale, chopped
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 15g fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tsp fresh turmeric, grated (or 1/2 tsp ground)
• 30ml olive oil
• Sea salt to taste
• Handful of fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into small 1-cm cubes. Finely chop the onion and garlic, and grate the ginger and turmeric. Wash and chop the kale, removing any tough stems.
2. Heat 15ml of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced sweet potatoes and cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and slightly browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.
3. Add the remaining 15ml of olive oil to the same skillet. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened.
4. Add the ground lamb to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook for 5–7 minutes until browned. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and grated turmeric, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
5. Return the cooked sweet potatoes to the skillet. Add the chopped kale and a pinch of sea salt. Stir everything together and cook for 2–3 minutes until the kale is wilted.
6. Serve the hash warm, garnished with fresh cilantro or parsley.

Tips & Substitutions

• Swap the greens: If kale isn’t on hand, try spinach or Swiss chard for a softer texture.
• Batch cook: Double the recipe and store leftovers in the fridge for up to three days — it reheats beautifully.
• Boost the flavor: Add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil just before serving to brighten the dish.
