Spicy Lamb Mince with Mashed Swede
Spicy Lamb Mince with Mashed Swede is a harmonious blend of robust flavors, drawing inspiration from rustic British cuisine with a modern twist. The earthy swede subtly complements the fiery richness of lamb, creating a comforting yet exciting dish.
Ingredients
Lamb Mixture
- 500 g lamb mince - fresh and lean
1 tbsp olive oil - extra virgin, for sautéing
1 large onion - finely chopped
2 cloves garlic - minced
1 tbsp ginger - fresh, grated
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili flakes - adjust for heat preference
1 can tomatoes - 400g, chopped
2 tbsp tomato paste
Mashed Swede
- 1 large swede - about 800g, peeled and diced
50 g butter
100 ml milk - whole for creaminess
1 tsp salt - to taste
½ tsp ground black pepper - freshly ground
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until transparent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until aromatic.
- Add the lamb mince, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, approximately 8-10 minutes.
- Sprinkle in the cumin powder and chili flakes, giving it all a good stir. Then pour in the chopped tomatoes and tomato paste. Simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Meanwhile, place the diced swede in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, approximately 20 minutes.
- Drain and return the swede to the pot. Add butter and milk, mashing until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve the spicy lamb mince over a generous spoonful of mashed swede. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or mint for an added layer of freshness.
Notes
For a milder version, reduce the chili flakes. Swap lamb mint for turkey mince for a lean alternative.
