Pan-frying roast lamb with spices creates a delicious Middle Eastern dish. This version of a traditional pilaf has been made AIP friendly and even more nutritious with cauliflower rice. Quick and easy, it will become a family favourite.

This is one of my favourite meals, the flavours are so fresh and aromatic. For a little extra freshness, try adding a touch of lemon zest with the spices.
