    Curry Lamb Stuffed Zucchini proves that lamb is easy to make and a delicious, flavorful addition to your meals. Made in under an hour, this delicious, gluten free recipe is full of veggies

    Once I realized lamb wasn't hard to cook, my world was changed. Yes, I can be dramatic. But y'all, lamb gives your meals SO MUCH FLAVOR and makes them more exciting!

    And cooking lamb does not have to be hard; I promise.

    Ground lamb is my personal favorite because if you can cook ground beef or ground turkey or ground chicken, then you can cook ground lamb! It's quick cooking and like I said before, so delicious.

    In May, I got the awesome opportunity to attend the Nourish with Lamb event at Frieda's, and it so much fun! We got to hear more about lamb, watch a cooking demo, eat the food from the demo, then take a tour of Frieda's.

    This recipe is one of the recipes that we got to enjoy that day, and I've made it 3 times since.

    This recipe is the opposite of intimidating. Many people find lamb intimidating - and I used to feel this way, too - but it really doesn't have to be!

    Lamb is such a great complement to plant based meals by adding protein, nutrients, and like I've said before, flavor.

    A little bit of lamb goes a long way, so you don't need to buy a huge piece of lamb (and figure out what to do with it).

    A few fun facts about cooking lamb:

    • Spices that go really well with lamb include cumin, paprika, pepper, thyme, garlic and rosemary
    • Onions, garlic, lemon juice and spices are lamb's best friends
    • For quick meals, pick lamb kabobs, rib, loin chops, and deboned leg of lamb

    In this recipe, you only need a few ingredients: ground lamb, onions, mushrooms, curry powder, turmeric, cayenne, salt, yogurt and zucchini.

    I love stuffing veggies because it ups the veggies in your meal, and I'm always looking to get more veggies in my life. And on that note, I added mushrooms & onions in there too.

    That being said, make sure you add a start on the side to give you some extra filling fiber and carbohydrates to keep you full and satisfied.

    These have the best flavor and also end up great as leftovers. But honestly, good luck having leftovers 😉

      The zucchini I used was too small too scoop out- so I sliced 2 zucchini length wise into 4 and layered it one layer zucchini on bottom then lamb mixture then repeat. I baked for 45 minutes at 350. Doubled the lamb - needed to increase spices, but did not doubled mushrooms or onions
