Spiced Lamb Cauliflower

Spiced Lamb Cauliflower is a delightful low-carb Lebanese dish that combines aromatic spices with tender lamb and cauliflower, creating a satisfying and flavorful meal. This dish is perfect for those looking for a nutritious alternative to traditional rice dishes, packed with protein and vibrant spices.

Ingredients

• Ground lamb - 300 grams
• Cauliflower - 1 medium head, grated (about 400 grams)
• Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Coriander powder - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Cinnamon - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Pine nuts - 2 tablespoons, toasted (optional)

Steps

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Add the minced garlic and ground lamb to the skillet. Cook until the lamb is browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Stir in the cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let the spices cook with the lamb for an additional 2 minutes.
4. While the lamb is cooking, grate the cauliflower using a box grater or food processor to create 'cauliflower rice'.
5. Add the grated cauliflower to the skillet and mix well with the lamb and spices. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender.
6. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. If desired, top with toasted pine nuts before serving.
