Ingredients
  

  • 4 NC Sweetpoatatoes

  • 1 tbsp Szechuan chili crisp
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 4 tbsp crème fraiche or sour cream divided
  • 4 scallions thinly sliced on bias
  • ¼ cup fresh mint leaves roughly chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350℉.
  • Pierce NC sweetpotatoes with a paring knife or fork. Bake for 45-minutes until fork-tender.
  • Meanwhile, in a large sauté pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.

  • Add shallots and sauté until fragrant and translucent or lightly brown, about 3 minutes.
  • Add tomato paste and lightly brown, about 2 minutes.

  • Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until lamb is cooked through, about 7 minutes.
