Directions

  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add oil, onions, and carrots and sauté for 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and ground lamb. Sauté until lamb is cooked through. Add corn and peas.
  2. Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine, tomato paste, rosemary, thyme, and beef stock. Mix well to combine.
  3. Add flour to skillet and mix well to combine. Allow to cook for 3-5 minutes. Add stock mix and allow to thicken. Remove from heat. Season to taste.
  4. Pre-heat conventional oven to 375°F.
  5. Using a 3” round cutter, cut rounds out. Pan spray a mini-muffin tin and place one round into each mini-muffin holder. Fill each tortilla with a little less than 1 tbsp. of the lamb mixture. Using the filled piping bags, pipe a 1” high cone shape with the sweet potato mixture. Ring the base of the cone with russet potato mixture and place a dot of russet potato mixture on the very top to complete the Santa hat. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through, and the tortilla is crisp.
  6. To serve, place the cups on a platter and serve.
