HOW TO MAKE COCONUT LAMB WITH CAULIFLOWER RICE

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp coconut oil

½

• onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, sliced
• 600g lamb, cubed
• 4 tomatoes, diced
• 2 turnips, diced
• 800ml coconut milk
• 2 courgettes, halved lengthways and sliced
• 3 tbsp chopped coriander leaves

For the rice:

• 1 small head cauliflower
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Method

1. Melt the coconut oil in a heavy-based saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the onions are translucent. Add the lamb and sear before adding the tomatoes, turnips and coconut milk to the pan. Simmer, uncovered, for 45 minutes.

3. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat and add the garlic. Cook for 5 minutes. Add the cauliflower and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until al dente.
4. Add the courgettes to the pan with the lamb and continue to cook for a further 5 minutes.
5. Season with salt and pepper, top with the coriander and serve over the cauliflower rice.
