LAMB AND SWEET POTATOES COTTAGE PIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 F. Cut all the vegetables; celery, carrots and onion into slices and the tomatoes into chunks. In a big bowl, mix all the vegetables and the garlic, except for the sweet potatoes with the ground lamb. Add all the spices; chili powder, cinnamon, cumin and oregano as well as salt and pepper to taste to the mix and make sure everything is well combined. Take an oven ready dutch-oven type pot and pour the olive oil in it. Place half of the sweet potatoes in a layer on the bottom. Place the lamb mixture on top of the sweet potatoes. Finish up with another layer of the remaining sweet potatoes. Place in the oven, uncovered, for 1 hour.

LAMB AND SWEET POTATO PIE

Steps:

• In a medium mixing bowl, combine ground cinnamon, 2 teaspoons cumin, 1 teaspoon coriander, 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss lamb pieces with the spice mixture to coat.
• In a Dutch oven or a large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Add lamb in 2 to 3 batches, in a single layer, and sear until dark brown on all sides, about 6 minutes per batch. Add the remaining tablespoon olive oil during searing if pan becomes dry. Remove the lamb pieces, and set aside.
• Reduce heat to medium; add 1 tablespoon butter. Add onions and sugar; cook 10 minutes, stirring frequently, scraping up brown bits on bottom of pan while stirring the onion.
• Reduce heat to medium low, add minced garlic, and cook until brown and well caramelized, about 15 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Stir in stock, tomatoes, star anise, cinnamon sticks, carrots, remaining 2 teaspoons cumin, 2 teaspoons coriander, 1 tablespoon ginger, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, and reserved lamb. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and simmer, stirring occasionally, uncovered, for about 1 hour, until lamb is tender and sauce is thick.
• Meanwhile, place sweet potatoes in a large saucepan; cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes, until very tender when pierced with a fork. Drain potatoes, and return to saucepan. Dry potatoes over medium-low heat for 1 minute. Pass potatoes through a food mill into a medium bowl. Stir in remaining 3 tablespoons butter; add salt to taste. Set aside, loosely covered.
• If using spinach, place in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper, cover, and cook until wilted, about 1 1/2 minutes. Drain, and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Set aside.
• Remove star anise and cinnamon sticks from the stew. Stir in cherries and prunes. Transfer mixture to a deep 2-quart casserole, and place a layer of spinach, if using, over the stew. Spoon the sweet potato mixture onto the stew. Place on a baking sheet, and bake for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with freshly grated nutmeg.
