Ingredients

300g ground lamb
1 medium sweet potato (about 250g), peeled and diced
1 large carrot (about 100g), peeled and diced
1 medium parsnip (about 100g), peeled and diced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
100g fresh spinach
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Sea salt to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened.
Add the diced sweet potato, carrot, and parsnip to the skillet. Cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and get some color.
Push the vegetables to one side of the pan. Add the ground lamb to the empty side, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 5–7 minutes.
Add the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, turmeric, and ginger to the pan. Stir everything together to combine the lamb and vegetables. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until it wilts, about 1–2 minutes. Season generously with sea salt.
Serve the hash warm, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.

Tips & Substitutions

Swap the protein: Ground beef, turkey, or chicken can replace lamb for a different flavor profile.
Make it ahead: Cook the vegetables and lamb in advance, then reheat gently before serving for a quick weeknight meal.
Add texture: Top with chopped toasted pumpkin seeds or drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil for a finishing touch.
