How to Make Batatas Mashi

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel and wash the sweet potatoes. Using an apple corer or a sharp knife, carefully core each sweet potato lengthwise.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, finely chopped onion, rice, pine nuts, parsley, spices (cinnamon, allspice, cumin), salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
  4. Stuff the prepared sweet potatoes with the lamb mixture, ensuring they are firmly packed.
  5. Place the stuffed sweet potatoes in a baking dish and pour in enough broth or water to reach about halfway up the sides of the potatoes.
  6. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 60 minutes.
  7. Remove the foil and continue baking for another 20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and the lamb filling is cooked through.
  8. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
  9. Enjoy your flavorful Batatas Mashi! Leftover meat filling can be used to make Hashwa or enjoyed separately.
