Keto Lamb Pilaf

7 ratings

This simple yet tasty pilaf makes a quick, easy and filling lunch.

Riced cauliflower is used in place of the traditional rice which can be shop bought or homemade.

The dish is perfect as it is, or served with a helping of tzatziki or Greek yogurt.

    The flavors don’t seem like they go together

        Thoroughly enjoying this dish. Though a bit confused re the spinach. It’s not in the ingredients list.

          Have made this three times. Added celery, mushrooms and a chilli. Very delicious. Tried pork/veal mince the third time and equally delicious.
