Lamb Bone Broth made really simply in your slow cooker or on the stove top.

LAMB BONE BROTH

This is really great no waste cooking. Something that is normally just thrown away can be given a new life and a really powerful source of nutrients for you and your family. Lamb is our meat of choice in this house and I love it’s comforting flavour. Lamb is high in tryptophan, an amino acid our bodies can’t produce on their own, but helps to regulate serotonin. Serotonin is one of the key chemicals in the brain involved in regulating your mood and helping you feel calm and relaxed. Lamb is also good for building your immunse system as it has plenty of antioxidants

Bone broth is a key ingredient in gut health. Simmering bones gently over a long time releases a variety of powerful nutrients. These minerals are easy to digest in this liquid form and are great for boosting your immune system. Use this broth as a soup or add it to casseroles and slow cooker meals. You can even add to simple dishes such as mashed potato or risotto.
