SWEET MASH
Boil the kettle. Place a pot over a medium-high heat with 2cm of boiling water covering the base. Once steaming, place the sweet potato chunks in a colander over the pot. Allow to steam covered for 15-20 minutes until cooked through and soft. Alternatively, use a steamer if you have one. On completion, discard the water and place the cooked sweet potato in the pot. Add ½ the cumin, a knob of butter or coconut oil (optional) and a splash of water or milk. Mash with a fork or potato masher until desired consistency. Season to taste.
SPICE MIX
Using a pestle and mortar or the back of a sturdy knife, crush the peppercorns until fine. Alternatively, roughly chop with a knife. Place a pan over a medium heat. When hot, dry toast the remaining cumin and the crushed peppercorns for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, shifting constantly. Remove from the pan and place in a bowl. Add the soy sauce, 50ml of water, and a sweetener of choice (to taste). Mix until fully combined and set aside.
BROWNED LAMB
Return the pan to a high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the lamb goulash and fry for 4-5 minutes until browned, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion. Season and set aside.
THE STIR-FRY SITUATION
Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the Onion slices and the Carrot chunks and fry for 4-5 minutes until softened, shifting occasionally. Add the chopped pickled pepper and fry for 2-3 minutes until starting to brown, shifting occasionally. Add the browned lamb and the soy-peppercorn mixture and leave to simmer for 3-6 minutes until the sauce is slightly reduced. Season to taste.
