This hearty meal serves two adults for dinner, with leftovers for lunch.
Approximate cooking time: 45-60 minutes
Ingredients

- 1 or 2 cans (403 mL each) organic coconut milk (use more if you prefer)
- 3 Tbs fresh cilantro, chopped
- sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
Serve over Cauliflower Rice.
Instructions
- Cube the lamb and prepare the vegetables.

just tried adding a couple tablespoons of curry power to the dish with previous changes (1 can coconut milk and with chicken)….it is so freaking good!

Haven’t made this yet, but a suggestion? Lamb is expensive, and picking a less expensive cut of lamb (or any other meat you pick, i.e. pork too) might help. I need a special line of credit for Whole Foods as it is….

Used 1.5 cans of coconut milk instead of 2 – besides that I followed it to a tee. The pale bf liked this a great deal. I thought it was fine. I agree with other reviewers about the amount of coconut milk. I would use less in the future, however the “rice” soaked it up well so it wasn’t too bad. I would also add some more salt than I did (used a teaspoon at most).
I think the serving size was incredibly accurate. It did serve 2 adults and we do have enough leftover for 1.5 people. :) I hate when recipes say it serves more or less than it truly does.

This cauliflower is fantastic! I seasoned it with fresh garlic, fresh ginger, diced onion, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, cilantro and the coconut milk. Other veggies I added were carrots that I threw in the food processor with the cauliflower and diced red pepper. Served with sautéed pork. Very tasty and colorful presentation

Love this recipe! The only changes I made were a red bell pepper instead of carrots and added a teaspoon of curry powder. Will definitely make again.

I just made this and added a few different spices and it is just delicious. The meat turned out so tended cooked in the coconut milk. This will totally become a winter staple for us now.

I’ve just made this yesterday evening and we loved the flavors! However, the lamb turned out to be a bit chewy. Any suggestion how I could avoid it next time? (as i def wanna have it again) thanks
