Ingredients
- 16 oz ground lamb
- 1.5 oz lamb liver, chopped
- 3 oz sardines
- 2 oz bok choy, finely chopped
- 1 oz broccoli, finely chopped
- 1 oz zucchini, finely chopped
- 1 oz red bell pepper, finely chopped
- 2 oz shiitake mushrooms, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Steps
- In a large skillet or pot, brown the ground lamb over medium heat until cooked through. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add the chopped lamb liver to the skillet and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liver is cooked through.
- Add the drained sardines to the skillet and break them apart with a spoon, mixing them evenly with the lamb and liver.
- Add the chopped bok choy, broccoli, zucchini, red pepper, turmeric, ground ginger and shiitake mushrooms to the skillet. Stir to combine with the meat mixture.
- Cover the skillet and let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once the vegetables are cooked through, remove the skillet from heat and allow the mixture to cool completely.
