Sunday Night: Lamb and Sweat Potato Stir Fry with Veggies



NIGHT 1 of the 4HB Diet. It was getting late and I was running out of ideas so I did what I often do in such situations and that is- throw everything I want to eat in a pot and see how it turns out. In this case- SUPER YUMMY. Will is already requesting that this become one of our 'regular' meals. Basically it went down like this:

Heat a few glugs of olive oil in a large frying pan or shallow dutch oven and add:
*half an onion chopped
*medium shallot sliced thin-ish

Cook until onions start to get translucent and then add the following:
*1 large sweat potato cubed in 1" squares

Cook until getting soft but not yet totally done and add:
*2 small zucchini sliced in 1/4" half rounds
*1 small summer squash sliced in 1/4" half rounds
* handful of green beans cut in 1" lengths
(plus any other veggies you might want)
and
*1Lb ground lamb
Cook it all up until everything's done (potatoes are soft etc.), covering and stirring occasionally. Drain the fat if desired and season with:
*soy sauce
*basil
*salt/pepper

And Enjoy! This can be made a million ways- let me know your flavor combinations that work best in the comments below.
