Ingredients

• 300g ground lamb
• 250g sweet potato
• 150g carrots
• 150g parsnip
• 1 red onion
• 30ml olive oil, divided
• 2 cloves garlic
• 15g fresh mint
• 15g fresh parsley
• 2cm piece of fresh ginger
• 1/2 lemon
• Sea salt to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the gremolata: Finely chop the mint, parsley, 1 clove of garlic, and the ginger. In a small bowl, combine them with the zest and juice of 1/2 a lemon and 15ml of olive oil. Set aside.
2. Prepare the vegetables: Peel and dice the sweet potato, carrots, and parsnip into small, 1–2cm cubes. Finely chop the red onion and the remaining garlic clove.
3. Cook the vegetables: Heat the remaining 15ml of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced root vegetables and cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and brown.
4. Add the lamb: Push the vegetables to one side of the pan. Add the ground lamb to the empty side, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook for 5–7 minutes until the lamb is browned.
5. Combine and season: Add the chopped onion and garlic to the pan. Stir everything together and cook for another 3–4 minutes until the onion is soft and fragrant. Season with sea salt to taste.
6. Serve: Remove the pan from the heat. Divide the hash between two plates and serve warm, topped with a generous spoonful of the mint-ginger gremolata.

Tips & Substitutions

• Make it milder: Swap the ginger for a smaller amount or omit it if you prefer a less zesty gremolata.
• Use other roots: Turnips, rutabagas, or even beets can stand in for any of the root vegetables listed.
• Meal prep friendly: Prepare the gremolata in advance—it keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days and adds brightness to other dishes too.
