Gyro Bowl

Makes 4 servings

Ingredients:

And if you just can't make it happen don't worry! Just substitute it for some 100% grass-fed ground beef or even slice up some of our 100% Grass Fed Beef Sticks.

  • 1½ lbs. ground lamb
  • 4 cups cauliflower florets/rice
  • 1 bulb fennel

  • ½ cup soaked cashews**
  • 2 Tbsp. water

  • ½ tsp. sea salt

Directions:

  1. **Soak cashews for at least a few hours beforehand. 
  2. Preheat oven to 450° F and roast cauliflower rice until golden, about 16 minutes. Remove from oven, stir well, and spread out again. Return to oven and roast for 6 minutes. Remove from oven, stir well, and spread out again. Continue roasting until browned, about 3-5 minutes more.
  3. Shave or thinly slice fennel. 
  4. For the hummus add all ingredients (liquids first) to a high-speed blender and blend until smooth adding a little more water, lemon or EVOO as needed. Adjust seasonings to taste, set aside.
