Description

Imagine sinking your teeth into a vibrant, fresh lettuce cup filled with savory, spiced lamb. This lamb and lettuce creation offers a delightful combination of textures and flavors that will leave you feeling satisfied and energized. Tender ground lamb, pan-fried to perfection, mingles with the subtle sweetness of red onion, creating a rich and aromatic base for this satisfying meal.

The lamb is cooked until it's beautifully browned and slightly crispy, offering a delightful contrast to the crisp lettuce leaves. These lettuce cups are incredibly versatile and can be enjoyed as a light lunch, a flavorful appetizer, or a satisfying dinner. The beauty of this dish lies in its simplicity.

Fresh, crisp lettuce leaves, acting as edible bowls, provide a refreshing counterpoint to the warm, savory lamb filling. The lettuce offers a satisfying crunch that enhances the overall eating experience. The tangy lime, garlic, and tahini dressing is the perfect finishing touch, adding a bright and zesty element that ties all the flavors together.

The creamy tahini provides a smooth richness, while the lime juice offers a welcome acidity that cuts through the richness of the lamb. A sprinkle of fresh cilantro adds a pop of color and a burst of herbaceous flavor, elevating the dish to a whole new level. Consider enhancing the experience by adding slices of creamy avocado or juicy olives for an extra layer of flavor and texture.

These lettuce cups pair beautifully with a side of cauliflower rice, providing a complete and well-rounded meal. Each bite is an explosion of textures and tastes, offering a unique and memorable culinary experience. These lamb lettuce cups are incredibly adaptable to your personal preferences.

Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices to create your own unique flavor profile. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy lunch or a light and flavorful dinner, these lamb lettuce cups are sure to please.

Instructions

    1.
    Thinly slice the red onion. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over a medium/high heat. Add the ground lamb. Add the sliced onion to the skillet along with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well to combine. Pan fry the lamb and onion, breaking the lamb into small pieces as you cook. Pan fry until the lamb is browned all over, completely cooked through and the onion is soft. About 8-9 minutes.
    2.
    Whilst the lamb is cooking you can prepare the dressing. Very finely crush the garlic and add to a small mixing bowl. Add a generous teaspoon of tahini. Add the lime juice, remaining olive oil and a pinch of salt. Whisk together until smooth and well combined.
    3.
    Clean the lettuce leaves and trim any tough stalks. Arrange the leaves on a large serving platter or individual plates. Divide the cooked lamb and onion evenly between the four prepared lettuce cups, filling the center of each.
    4.
    Drizzle the tahini dressing evenly over each lamb filled lettuce cup. Finely chop the cilantro. Scatter the cilantro over the lettuce cups. Serve the lamb hot with your preferred Keto sides.
