Ingredients
- 1 medium spaghetti squash
- 1 pound lamb ground
- 1/8 pound liver ground or pureed (optional)
- 1/2 medium onion diced
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon oregano dried
- 8 medium mushrooms white button
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Instructions
Prepare the squash
- Preheat oven to 375 F.
- Cut the spaghetti squash in half length-wise with a large knife or cleaver.
- Place cut side down in a shallow baking dish. Add 3/4" of water to the dish.
- Bake for 45 minutes or so, until the squash is soft to the touch.
- Remove from oven and set aside to cool to a temperature comfortable for handling.
Prepare the lamb
- Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat.
- Add lamb, liver, onions, sea salt, garlic, and oregano, and cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add mushrooms and continue to cook 10 - 12 minutes or until lamb is fully done.
Assemble the dish
- Remove the "spaghetti" from the squash.
- Turn the cut side up, and remove from the rind with a fork. Tip: Scrape the fork cross-wise, so the strands of squash fall out like spaghetti.
- Spoon lamb mixture over spaghetti squash to serve.
- Optional: add a sauce of your choice
