Ingredients
  

For the Sweet Potato Mash

  • 675 g sweet potato
  • 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp honey
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • Salt and black pepper

For the Lamb Stir-fry

  • 600 g lamb pieces
  • 2 spring onions (sliced)
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper

To serve

  • 100 ml plain unsweetened yoghurt
  • ½ cup toasted pine nuts
  • Coriander leaves (cilantro)

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the unpeeled sweet potato in the oven and bake for 40 minutes or until the flesh is very tender (insert a skewer into the middle of the sweet potato to test). Remove from the oven and leave to cool slightly.
  • Carefully peel the skin away from the sweet potato and place the flesh in a mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, cinnamon, cumin, ginger and paprika and mash, or beat with a fork until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Put back in the still-warm oven while you continue.
  • Put the lamb into a mixing bowl and add the oil, spring onions and salt and pepper. Mix well and add to a frying pan over high heat. Stir-fry for a few minutes until the lamb is just cooked.
  • Pile the lamb onto the sweet potato and serve each portion with a dollop of yoghurt, a sprinkle of pine nuts and some coriander leaves.

Notes

Tip: The sweet potato mash makes a great cold dip.
