• 1 medium Onion
• 2 medium Carrot

• 0.5 tsp Pepper

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to 200°C (about 205°C).
2. 2Peel the 1000 g of kumara (sweet potato) and cut into 2.54 cm chunks. Place the kumara chunks in a medium pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the kumara is easily pierced with a fork. Drain the kumara and mash it in the pot until smooth. You can add 1 tablespoon of the 2 tbsp olive oil to help with mashing if needed.
3. 3While the kumara is boiling, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of 2 tbsp olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the 500 g of lamb mince and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is browned all over, about 5-7 minutes. Drain off any excess fat from the pan.
4. 4Add the 1 medium chopped onion and 2 medium chopped carrots to the pan with the lamb. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, or until the onion and carrot have softened.
5. 5Stir in the 2 tbsp of tomato paste, 1 tsp of rosemary, 1 tsp of salt, and 0.5 tsp of pepper. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Pour in the 500 ml of gluten-free beef stock and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let it simmer gently for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
6. 6Stir the 1 cup of peas into the lamb and vegetable mixture. Cook for 1 minute more to heat the peas through.
7. 7Pour the lamb and vegetable mixture into an oven-safe dish (approximately 22.86 × 33.02 cm or similar). Spoon the mashed kumara evenly over the top of the lamb mixture, spreading it to cover completely.
8. 8Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top of the kumara is lightly golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
