  • 1 onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced

  • 1/2 cup beef or lamb broth
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil or olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh cilantro chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Sear the lamb: Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over mediumhigh heat. Season the lamb with salt and pepper, then sear it for 5-7 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove the lamb from the skillet and set aside.

  • Simmer the curry: Add the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the coconut milk and broth, stirring to combine. Return the lamb to the skillet and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  • Cook the lamb: Cover and simmer the curry on low heat for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the lamb is tender and the sauce has thickened. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  • Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot. Pair with cauliflower rice or sautéed greens to keep it keto-friendly.
