Description

This captivating lamb bowl draws inspiration from the vibrant tastes of Morocco, a symphony of fragrant herbs and warming spices. Ground lamb, browned to perfection in a pan, mingles with crisp ribbons of red cabbage, offering a delightful textural contrast. The spiced lamb and cabbage mixture is then paired with a velvety smooth cauliflower-based dip, reminiscent of traditional hummus but lighter and equally satisfying.

The bowl is further enhanced with the nutty crunch of toasted pine nuts, the briny pop of olives, and a generous scattering of fresh cilantro, adding layers of complexity and freshness to every bite. This lamb bowl is a wonderful choice for a satisfying lunch or a flavorful dinner. The richness of the lamb, combined with the earthy spices and the creamy cauliflower dip, creates a balanced and truly delicious meal.

The pine nuts and cilantro provide welcome bursts of flavor and texture that elevate the dish. Feel free to enjoy this bowl as is for a complete and fulfilling meal. If you're looking to add even more to your plate, consider pairing it with a refreshing Mediterranean-style salad, perhaps one with cucumber, tomatoes, and a light vinaigrette.

The cool crispness of the salad would complement the warm spices of the lamb beautifully. For those who enjoy a more interactive eating experience, you could also serve the lamb and cauliflower dip with some warm flatbreads. Stuffing the lamb mixture into the bread and dipping it into the hummus creates a fun and satisfying way to enjoy all the flavors and textures of the bowl.

The versatility of this dish makes it a fantastic option for meal prepping, as the components can be made ahead of time and assembled just before serving. Whether you are seeking a taste of Moroccan-inspired cuisine or simply looking for a flavorful and wholesome meal option, this lamb bowl is sure to please.

Instructions

    1.
    Add the cauliflower rice to a small saucepan with two tablespoons of water. Simmer the rice for 3-4 minutes until tender and cooked through. Drain away any excess water and set aside to steam dry. The rice needs to be as dry as possible for the hummus.
    2.
    Add the cooked cauliflower rice to a food processor. Add 1 small garlic clove, the lemon juice, half a teaspoon of salt, and the tahini. Blend to combine until smooth and creamy.
    3.
    Add a tablespoon of olive oil to the food processor. Blend to combine until smooth and you have a hummus-like consistency. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired, adding more salt, lemon, tahini or oil.
    4.
    Thinly slice the red cabbage. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over a medium/high heat. Add the cabbage and pan fry for 4-5 minutes to soften.
    5.
    Add the ground lamb to the skillet with the cabbage. Add the cinnamon, cumin, coriander and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well to combine. Continue to pan-fry over a medium/high heat until the lamb is completely cooked through.
    6.
    Roughly chop the cilantro and slice the olives in half. Divide the lamb between 4 serving bowls. Top each bowl with an even serving of the cauliflower hummus. Scatter the olives over the lamb bowls. Sprinkle over the toasted pine nuts and fresh chopped cilantro to serve.
