Another favourite Dinnerly meal is ‘Reduced-Carb Middle Eastern Lamb with Cauliflower ‘Rice’ and Almonds’. The instructions are easy to follow and the flavours are amazing. Harissa is quite warm so you might want to adjust it to your taste. I have never made Cauliflower Rice before and I definitely will make it again! The ‘Make it your own’ section of the instructions gives the option to pulse the cauliflower in a food processor until it resembles rice. Something to think about.

Ingredients
- 20g slivered almonds
- 5g harissa seasoning
- lamb mince
- 1 zucchini
- 250g cauliflower
- 1 onion
- 1 tbs tomato sauce
- 1½ tbs olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves
Instructions
- Prep ingredients: Thinly slice the onion. Crush or finely chop 2 garlic cloves. Coarsely grate the cauliflower, including the stem (see Make it yours). Peel the zucchini into ribbons with a vegetable peeler.
- Brown lamb: Heat 2 tsp olive oil in a medium deep frypan over high heat. Cook the lamb mince, breaking up the lumps with a spoon, for 3-4 mins until browned. Add 1½ tsp harissa seasoning (see Make it yours) and 1 tbs tomato sauce, season with salt and pepper, then cook, stirring, for 1 min or until fragrant. Remove from the pan.
- Cook cauliflower 'rice': Heat 2 tsp olive oil in the pan over medium heat. Cook the onion and garlic, stirring, for 3 mins or until softened. Add the cauliflower and cook, stirring, for 3 mins or until tender. Add 1 tsp harissa seasoning and cook, stirring, for 1 min or until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper, then remove the pan from the heat.
- Toast almonds: Put the almonds in a cold small frypan over medium heat. Toast, tossing, for 3-4 mins until evenly golden. Remove from the pan. Heat 2 tsp olive oil in the pan over medium heat. Cook the zucchini for 1-2 mins until tender. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Serve up: Divide the cauliflower 'rice' among bowls and top with the lamb and zucchini. Scatter over the almonds and enjoy!
- Make it yours: To speed things up, process coarsely chopped cauliflower in a food processor using the pulse button until it resembles rice. ~ Harissa is a chilli-based seasoning and has a kick to it. If you prefer less heat, reduce the seasoning to taste.
