Ingredients
- 300g ground lamb
- 1 large sweet potato (approx. 300g), diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 30ml extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- 1.Prepare the vegetables: Dice the sweet potato into small 1cm cubes, dice the onion and bell pepper, and mince the garlic. Use a vegetable peeler to create long ribbons from the zucchini and set them aside.
- 2.Heat 15ml of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced sweet potato and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften and brown.
- 3.Push the sweet potatoes 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 browned, then drain any excess fat if necessary.
- 4.Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic to the pan. Stir everything to combine and season with dried rosemary, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- 5.While the hash finishes, heat the remaining 15ml of olive oil in a separate small pan over medium heat. Add the zucchini ribbons and sauté for just 1-2 minutes until tender but still vibrant. Season lightly with salt.
- 6.Remove the hash from the heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice. Divide the hash between two plates and top with the sautéed zucchini ribbons to serve.
