I get biodynamic lamb from Moorelands lamb (http://www.moorlandslamb.com.au/) – straight from the farmer! It’s inexpensive and there is no in between commission cut for anyone. Both parties benefit. If you ever think that you can’t afford organic, you can! There are so many ways you can get inexpensive, but good quality organic or biodynamic food. I will soon post a blog on how to go about it.

It was a cool day when I decided to make this curry…just perfect for this kind of dish.

I didn’t have many veggies, so I chucked what I had in there (purple cabbage, beetroot andcapsicum) .

The beauty of this dish is that you can add so many different veggies and it will soak up the yumminess that is the broth and the flavours. So if your kids are like mine and they sometimes don’t eat meat, they are still getting delicious goodness.

This dish takes time, so be prepared and start early.

Lamb – is an excellent source of vitamin B12. Deficiency in this vitamin shows up as fatigue and inability to focus. It is an excellent vitamin to balance hormones, for a healthy heart and adrenal fatigue. This vitamin also plays a role in keeping our brain and mind healthy.

Lamb also contains high levels of protein, selenium, vitamin B3 and good amounts of zinc and phosphorus.

It is also a very good source of omega-3. So if you don’t eat fish that often, this is one of the foods that can give you a boost in this essential fatty acid.

Selenium is a trace mineral found in soil and in certain foods. It can improve fertility, boosts immunity, keeps your heart healthy, helps to regulate thyroid function and could reduce asthma symptoms.

Cloves – contain a whopping amount of manganese. This is another trace mineral which could improve immunity, help with PMS and balance hormones and prevent osteoporosis. It is rich in Vitamin K and fibre too. Vitamin K can help fight cancer, is great for your brain, bone and heart health.

Cloves are antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antifungal. I remember chewing on a clove bud whenever I had a toothache. It definitely helped.

Cumin – or jeera helps in digestion and reducing food-borne infections. It promotes weight loss, improves blood sugar, helps asthma and cholestrol and is a rich source of iron. It also helps the body to detoxify naturally.

This dish contains an array of medicinal spices such as cinnamon, coriander powder, turmeric powder, etc. All of these combined together makes this dish a powerhouse of nutrition.
