The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.

Cooking Instructions and Tips
a) Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9. Boil a half-full kettle.
b) Chop the sweet potato into 1cm chunks (no need to peel).
c) Put the sweet potato chunks onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
d) When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 16-18 mins. Turn halfway through.
a) Meanwhile, pour the boiled water into a large saucepan with ¼ tsp salt on high heat.
b) Add the rice and cook for 10-12 mins.
c) Once cooked, drain in a sieve and pop back in the pan. Cover with a lid and leave to the side until ready to serve.
a) While the rice is cooking, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.
b) Once hot, add the lamb mince and cook until browned, 5-6 mins. Use spoon to break it up as it cooks, then drain and discard any excess fat.
c) Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
