Sweet and Savory: A Lamb, Blackberry, and Pistachio

Sweet and Savory: A Lamb, Blackberry, and Pistachio

June 10, 2025 Written by Abigail

Today, I am excited to share a unique and adventurous recipe that combines flavors and ingredients unlike anything you’ve tried before. This dish is perfect for a cozy night in or a special occasion when you want to impress your guests with something truly out of the ordinary.

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:
– 300g boneless lamb shoulder, diced
– 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed
– 1 cup blackberries
– 1/2 cup pistachios, shelled
– 1/4 cup honey
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Olive oil

You will also need the following kitchen tools:

  • chef’s knife
  • cutting board
  • large skillet
  • baking sheet

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cubed sweet potato with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet, then roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.

Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of olive oil. Season the diced lamb with salt and pepper, then add it to the skillet. Cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Add the roasted sweet potato, blackberries, and pistachios to the skillet with the lamb. Drizzle the honey over everything and stir to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and well coated in the honey.

Once everything is cooked and combined, remove the skillet from the heat and serve the dish hot. The sweet and savory flavors of the lamb, sweet potato, blackberries, and pistachios create a wonderfully unique and delicious harmony that you won’t find in any other dish.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 900g, with 4 servings at around 225g each. One serving of this dish is estimated to be around 400 calories.

A clever tip for this recipe is to lightly crush the pistachios before adding them to the skillet. This will release more of their nutty flavor and allow them to mix more evenly with the other ingredients, enhancing the overall taste of the dish.

I encourage you to give this adventurous recipe a try and feel free to customize it with your favorite ingredients or spices to make it your own. Enjoy!
