Ingredients

  • about 910 g Lamb Shoulder
  • 2 tbsp Coconut Oil
  • 3 tbsp Massaman Curry Paste
  • 2 cans Coconut Milk (full-fat)
  • 2 tbsp Sunflower Seed Butter
  • 1 tbsp Fish Sauce (optional)
  • 1 tbsp Lime Juice
  • 1 tbsp Swerve (or other keto sweetener)
  • 1 medium Avocado
  • 1 medium Onion

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1Cut the about 910 g of lamb shoulder into 2.54 cm pieces.
  2. 2Heat the 2 tbsp of coconut oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat (about 205°C or 200°C). Add the about 910 g of lamb pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. 3Stir in the 3 tbsp of Massaman curry paste and cook, stirring constantly, until it smells fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. 4Pour in the 2 cans of full-fat coconut milk and stir in the 2 tbsp of sunflower seed butter. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  5. 5Add the 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 tbsp of fish sauce (if using), 1 tbsp of lime juice, and 1 tbsp of Swerve (or other keto sweetener). Stir everything together well.
  6. 6Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and simmer gently for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the about 910 g of lamb shoulder is very tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  7. 7Dice the 1 medium avocado and stir it into the curry just before serving.
