Ingredients

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks

2 spring onions, thinly sliced, plus extra to garnish

1tbsp Cajun seasoning

250g Butcher’s Selection Lamb Mince (typically less than 20% fat)

1 red onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, crushed

2 carrots, peeled and chopped

1 Grower’s Selection Sweetcorn Twin Pack

300g Mexican-style bean mix, drained and rinsed

400g can chopped tomatoes

Thyme sprigs, to garnish (optional)

Method

1
Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6.
2
Put the sweet potato in a pan of cold water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 15-20 mins until soft. Drain, return to the pan and mash until just smooth. Fold in the spring onions and season with black pepper.
3
Meanwhile, put the Cajun seasoning in a pan and warm over a medium heat for 2 mins until the spice releases its aroma.
4
Add the mince and break up with the back of a spoon. Fry for 8 mins until browned. Drain off any excess fat.
5
Add the onions, garlic and carrots to the pan. Stir to combine, cover and cook for 5 mins until the onions are soft.
6
Remove the kernels from the sweetcorn by cutting down the length of the cob. Add these to the pan with the remaining ingredients, and simmer for 10 mins.
7
Pour into an ovenproof dish and top with the mash. Bake for 10 mins until piping hot and crispy on top. Top with spring onions and thyme, and serve.
