Lamb and sweet potato empanadas

Our homemade shortcrust pastry makes a flakey-yet-secure home for our spiced lamb filling — think tender lamb mince simmered with tomatoes, fragrant spices, and finished with roast sweet potato, mozzarella, green olives, and fresh herbs. One makes for a hearty snack (or a lunchbox treat), but a couple with salad and chutney turns into a dinner worth dancing about.
