Method
 

  1. Wash and cube the potatoes, slice the radishes, and dice the lamb shoulder into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine diced lamb with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, sumac, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  3. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Toss cubed potatoes with remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking tray and roast in the oven for 25 minutes or until crispy and golden brown.
  4. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the marinated lamb. Cook for about 10–12 minutes, continuously stirring, until the lamb is browned and cooked through.
  5. Add fresh peas to the skillet in the last 3 minutes of cooking the lamb to warm through and keep their crunch.
  6. In a bento box or meal prep container, layer the roasted potatoes, sumac lamb, sliced radishes, and chopped cilantro.
  7. Add a lime wedge to the side and enjoy your vibrant lunch creation fresh or chilled.
