Ingredients:

  • 4 cups small cauliflower florets (1 small whole cauliflower)
  • 2 6-ounce lamb shoulder blade chops (original calls for 4-5 oz, but pfft what am I on a diet??)
  • 4 teaspoons curry powder, divided
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoon all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup low-salt chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup whipping cream
  • 4 tablespoons mango chutney
  • 2 large green onions, chopped, divided
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce (cock sauce, rooster sauce, the garlic one that comes in the not-squeeze bottle, it has more flavor, trust me.)

Directions:

  1. Boil cauliflower in enough water just to cover it all, until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to bowl; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  2. Sprinkle lamb with salt, pepper, and 1.5 teaspoon curry powder. Heat oil in medium skillet over medium heat. Sauté lamb to desired doneness, 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to plates. Pour off oil from skillet.
  3. Make sure your skillet isn’t on fire here, or else you will burn the flour.  Add 2.5 teaspoons curry powder and flour to skillet; whisk 15 seconds. Add broth, cream, and chutney. Boil until thick, whisking, 2 minutes. Add cauliflower and half of green onions; toss to heat through.
  4. Spoon curried cauliflower over lamb. Sprinkle with remaining green onions.
