Directions
*Preheat oven to 400F
*Cook the cauliflower according to the package directions until
it’s very soft, but not waterlogged. In a microwave safe bowl or small saucepan
=, heat the garlic, coconut oil, coconut milk, salt, and pepper, about 1 minute
*Meanwhile, puree the cauliflower in the bowl of a food
processor, scraping down the sides. Add the coconut milk to the processor,
along with 1 Tbsp of chives. Process about 10 seconds. Taste and adjust
seasoning. Set aside.
*Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, about 3 minutes.
Add coconut oil and allow it to melt. Add the onion and carrot; reduce heat to
medium-low and cover. Allow the vegetables to get soft but not brown, about 5
minutes.
*Add the garlic to the pan and stir until fragrant, about 1
minute. With your hands, crumble the ground lamb into the pan and break up
large chunks with a wooden spoon. Sautee until cooked through and brown, about
5-10 minutes. Taste, then season with salt and pepper.
*Add the tomato paste, broth, rosemary, and
thyme to pan. Stir to combine, then bring to a boil and simmer until most of
the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Scramble the egg whites until
frothy and blend into meat mixture.
*To assemble the shepherd’s pie, spread the meant mixture evenly
in a 12x6-inch..i used 9 x13 inch pan... baking dish. With a rubber scraper and a light hand, spread the
mashed cauliflower on top of the meat. Gently drag the tines of a fork in a
zig-zag pattern across the surface to create a texture-the peaks and valleys
with turn a lovely golden brown in the oven. Sprinkle the top lightly with
paprika.
*Place the pan on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 25-30
minutes, until the top begins to brown. Remove to a cooling rack for 5-10
minutes before serving.
