Ingredients

• Zucchini Noodles - 200 grams
• Ground Lamb - 150 grams
• Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Cinnamon - 1/2 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black Pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Fresh Parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Almond Milk - 100 ml
• Olive Oil - 1 tablespoon
• Slivered Almonds - 20 grams, toasted

Steps

1. Heat olive oil in a 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, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Stir in the cumin, cinnamon, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the spices to bloom.
4. Pour in the almond milk and let it simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened.
5. While the sauce simmers, prepare the zucchini noodles by either spiralizing fresh zucchini or using store-bought zucchini noodles. Lightly sauté them in a separate pan for about 2-3 minutes until just tender.
6. Combine the cooked zucchini noodles with the lamb mixture in the skillet. Toss gently to coat the noodles in the sauce.
7. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
8. Serve hot, garnished with toasted slivered almonds.
