Tender meat served with mashed potatoes is one of the best culinary combinations there is. Going keto doesn’t mean you have to give up your mash. Instead of potatoes, you can use cauliflower to make a smooth, creamy mash that’s low-carb and tastes amazing. One of the best cuts of meat to compliment your cauliflower mash are lamb chops. Once you’ve tried this combo once, it’s sure to become one of your favorites.
Cooking up this lamb chop recipe involves two simple steps. The first step is to make the mashed cauliflower. This can be done by boiling the cauliflower and then blending it with the Swiss cheese and sour cream to give it some extra richness. Once the mash is ready, the second step is to cook the chops. Cooking lamb chops is best done in a searing hot frying pan. Simply cover the chops in the herbs and spices and then fry them on both sides until cooked. All that’s left to do now is plate them up and enjoy.
This keto-friendly recipe is packed full of goodness. The cauliflower is low carb, a great source of antioxidants, and is noted for boosting heart health. Lamb chops are protein-rich and a great source of iron and vitamin B.
