INGREDIENTS

  • Vegetables

    • 2 large white sweet potatoes
    • 🧅 1 onion, finely chopped
    • ¼ cup finely chopped leek
    • ¼ cup finely chopped celery
    • ½ cup finely chopped green onions

  • Meats

    • 1 pound ground lamb

  • Canned Goods

    • 1 (16 ounce) can tomato sauce
    • 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained

  • Spices & Seasonings

    • 1 teaspoon ground cumin, or more to taste
    • Salt and ground black pepper to taste

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Prick the sweet potatoes several times with a fork and place onto a baking sheet.

2

Bake in the preheated oven until easily pierced with a fork, 50 minutes to 1 hour.

3

In the meantime, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir lamb in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

4

Add onion, leek, and celery to the skillet and saute until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in tomato sauce, chickpeas, cumin, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat; simmer 5 to 10 minutes. Return lamb to the skillet and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes more.

5

Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Pour the lamb mixture into a baking pan.

6

Mash the sweet potato in a bowl, stir in tahini and green onions, and spread it on top of the lamb.

7

Bake in the oven until bubbling throughout and the top is lightly browned, about 40 minutes.
