Savory Ground Lamb & Potato Skillet

Ingredients

• 1 lb Oak & Barrel Meats ground lamb

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 1 small onion, diced

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 cups diced potatoes (about ½-inch cubes)

• 1 tsp salt

• ½ tsp black pepper

• 1 tsp smoked paprika

• ½ tsp ground cumin

• ½ tsp dried thyme or rosemary

• ½ cup frozen peas (optional)

• 2 tbsp tomato paste

• ½ cup beef or chicken broth

• Fresh parsley or mint for garnish

Instructions

1. Cook potatoes: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add potatoes and cook 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and mostly tender. Remove and set aside.

2. Brown the lamb: In the same skillet, add remaining oil and ground lamb. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain excess fat if needed.

3. Add aromatics: Stir in onion and garlic; cook until fragrant and softened, about 3–4 minutes.

4. Season & combine: Add salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, and thyme. Stir in tomato paste and broth, then return potatoes to the pan.

5. Simmer: Cook another 5–7 minutes until everything is coated and potatoes are fully tender. Stir in peas if using.

6. Finish & serve: Garnish with chopped parsley or fresh mint. Serve warm.
