Lamb & Pomegranate Salad

Recipe / Lisa Guy

Lamb is a good source of vitamin B12, which plays a vital role in healthy nervous

system and brain function. B12 is also an important vitamin needed for red

blood cell production. Lamb is rich in protein to provide your body with the amino

acids it needs to build and repair muscles, maintain healthy hair, skin and nails

and heal wounds. Lamb is also an excellent source of iron, which is extremely

important for strengthening the immune system.

Serves: 4

2 tsp ground cumin

2 tsp ground coriander

1 tsp ground ginger

1 tsp ground cinnamon

¼ tsp cayenne pepper

Good pinch sea salt & pepper

1 cup chicken bone broth

1 tin crushed tomatoes

Salad

2 big handfuls green leaves

Seeds from 1 pomegranate

Handful crumbled feta

Handful mint leaves, roughly chopped

In small bowl mix cumin, coriander,

In frying pan over medium heat,

sauté onion and garlic in olive oil and

brown lamb shanks on all sides.

Place onion and lamb shanks in

slow cooker. Sprinkle with salt and

pepper and add chicken bone broth

and tomatoes.

Cover and cook on high for 4

hours or on low for 6–7 hours.
