Robbie Sigona’s Sautéed Ground Lamb with Gai Lan
This simple, easy-to-make dish is healthy, flavorful and satisfying! You can eat it just like this, if you’re looking for a low-to-no carb dish, but it’s also fantastic with rice, pasta or another grain for a more substantial meal.
You can add some poached or fried eggs on top as well, for more protein and flavor! As for the gai lan (aka Chinese broccoli), you could par boil it before adding to the meat, but gai lan is tender enough that it cooks well using this preparation too.
I hope you enjoy this dish! I loved it!
