Riz Bi Lahme

Riz Bi Lahme is a delicious Paleo Lebanese rice dish that combines tender lamb with fragrant spices and nutty cauliflower rice, creating a hearty and satisfying meal. This dish is perfect for those seeking a healthy but indulgent dining experience.

Ingredients

• cauliflower - 1 medium head
• ground lamb - 300 grams
• onion - 1 medium, finely chopped
• garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• cinnamon - 1 teaspoon
• allspice - 1/2 teaspoon
• salt - 1 teaspoon
• black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• pine nuts - 30 grams, toasted
• parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Steps

1. Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice: remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower, and cut it into florets. Pulse the florets in a food processor until they resemble rice grains.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent.
3. Add the ground lamb to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until the lamb is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Stir in the cinnamon, allspice, salt, and black pepper, mixing well to combine the spices with the lamb.
5. Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet, stirring to incorporate it with the lamb mixture. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the cauliflower is tender.
6. Remove the skillet from heat, and stir in the toasted pine nuts and chopped parsley. Adjust seasoning to taste.
7. Serve the Riz Bi Lahme warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
