It seems that this Keto friendly meal is another favourite. Cabbage is so underrated and this low carb dish hits the spot. I’m going to do a post on this creamy cabbage on it’s own because it is so versatile. Add any protein to it and you have a winner.

Notes
- If you are not confident cooking with two pans at once cook the lamb first and while the lamb is resting then cook the cabbage “fettuccine”
- When following the cooking directions and you reach the stage when the cabbage is tender, the pan will be really hot. It is important to let it cool a little by taking it off the heat for a minute or two. By doing this the cheese will go creamy and not burn.
- Use Pecorino cheese. This is a sheep’s milk cheese so it compliments the lamb really well. You can use real Italian Grana Padino or Reggiano parmesan
