Ingredients
- 300g lamb mince
- 2 medium sweet potatoes (approx. 500g)
- 150g chestnut mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 400g tomato passata (no sugar added)
- 30ml olive oil
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- 1.Prepare your vegetables. Use a spiralizer to turn the sweet potatoes into 'noodles'. Finely chop the onion, mince the garlic, and slice the mushrooms.
- 2.Heat 15ml of olive oil in a large pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3.Add the lamb mince to the pan. Break it up with a spoon and cook until browned all over, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
- 4.Stir in the sliced mushrooms, rosemary, thyme, and tomato passata. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for 15-20 minutes for the flavors to meld.
- 5.While the ragu simmers, heat the remaining 15ml of olive oil in a separate large skillet over medium heat. Add the sweet potato noodles and sauté for 5-7 minutes, tossing occasionally, until they are tender-crisp. Do not overcook them.
- 6.Remove the rosemary and thyme sprigs from the ragu. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve the hot lamb ragu over the sautéed sweet potato noodles, garnished with fresh parsley.
