Lamb and broccolie




From Kylie's Quick Keto Kitchen:
Quick rating: 2.5/5 - 

What's in it:
- thin sliced lamb shoulder from an Asian grocery - defrosted 1 min
- garlic scapes (I admit I'm finding mixed info as to the carbs in these, likely too yummy to be low carb , I'll likely omit in future, swap for asparagus? ) ditto - rinse and then use paring knife to cut into small 1 inch or less lengths ( I just cut into the same bowl I'll later be eating out of)
- 1/2 a head of fresh broccoli - rinse under water, and tear into small bits with hands/paring knife.
No need to bother with cutting board ect.
- 2 tbsp. coconut aminos
- butter
- Pink him. salt + pepper
-1 tbsp. pre frozen/ chopped onions
- 2 whole garlic cloves
- smoked paprika to taste
- cayenne pepper to taste
- 1/4 - 1/2 cup water


Steps:
- melt butter with aminoes, and all spices, onion, in pan, medium heat.
-once melted, add meat, stir occasionally till brown, approx. 2-3 minutes. This is super thin, it cooks up fast.
- reduce heat
-Add water
-add veggies, stir to coat, cover, let steam 2 mins or so. stir, turn off heat once veggies are bright vivid green, cover and let sit 1-2 minutes.
- Enjoy. It was one of the most delicious things I've made in months!! Make lots!

Snacks...

Just a snacks hack. . I cut my quest bars up into little cubes. Keep track of quantity if you combine flavors.  And divide cubes into little snack packs.  They remind me of the various fruit or gummy snacks for their size, and you can eat them like a hard candy letting them dissolve in your mouth a bit. Overall, makes them last longer and you feel like you're eating more.
