450g lean diced lamb

1 medium red onion, finely chopped

2 garlic cloves, crushed

1 red pepper, deseeded and diced

500g tomato passata

2 teaspoons vegetable stock powder, dissolved in 300ml water

1 tablespoon chopped fresh mixed herbs

2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint

2 sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced

1 vegetable stock cube

freshly ground black pepper

1 Preheat the oven to 200C, 400F, gas mark 6.

2 Heat a heavy-based, non-stick pan. Season the lamb with black pepper, add to the hot pan and seal the meat on all sides.

3 Add the onion, garlic and red pepper, and cook quickly over a high heat until soft.

4 Add the tomato passata, made-up stock and the herbs, stirring well. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes to allow the lamb to cook through.

5 Meanwhile, cook the sweet potato slices in a pan of water with the vegetable stock cube.

6 When the meat is tender, stir in the chopped mint and pour into an ovenproof dish. Drain the potatoes and arrange on top of the meat.
