Blueberry Hunter Stew

IMG_9092The hardest part about traveling is maintaining a healthy diet. I have a super sensitive stomach so too many sweets (guilty) or heavy foods put me over the edge. Even when I cook my own meals on vacation, I still feel the need to detox once I’m home. I found this (somewhat) raw recipe on Strange Kitty Cooks and was eager to give it a try. I’m not a huge fan of red meat but I was feeling adventurous today. The blueberries were the perfect way to make the dish feel sweet and fresh. Plus any recipe that calls for red wine is okay in my book.

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs Cubed Lamb
  • 2 Handfuls of Fresh Blueberries
  • 2 Cups Baby Carrots, sliced in half lengthwise
  • Coconut oil for frying
  • Salt, Pepper, Oregano, Garlic
  • 1 Large Onion
  • 1/2 Cup Red wine
  • Splash Worcestershire sauce

Step 1: Brown the beef in coconut oil and put on a medium simmer with onions

Step 2: Add Salt, Pepper, Oregano, Garlic (to taste), Carrots, Wine and a splash of Worcestershire sauce. Add enough water to just cover the beef

Step 3: Let stew for 20 minutes on a medium heat

Step 4: Add berries and let stew for an additional 10 minutes or until carrots are tender
