What else can be done with this almond ham dish?
This dish, almond ham with rice, will definitely become a family favorite! It’s easy, delicious, and versatile.
As mentioned in both the title and the recipe, this dish is awesome served over rice. The rice, however, could be replace with cauliflower “rice,” which some people claim is fantastic. Adding more spinach can also help make it a bit more filling, while eating less rice.
Steamed carrots are a wonderful addition to this meal as well. Not only do the carrots add some extra flavor and more veggie (which is always good), they also add a nice pop of color 🙂
