A Perfect Healing and Fulfilling Winter Meal: Wild Elk Stew With Bone Broth
Bone Broth Benefits – Bone broth is rich in minerals that support the immune system and contains healing compounds like collagen, glutamine, glycine and proline. The collagen in bone broth heals your gut lining and reduces intestinal inflammation that can help improve your overall well-being and appearance. Below is a great way to incorporate Bone Broth in one of my favorite meals!
Ingredients:
Wild Elk Stew
3/4 lb Ground Wild Elk
5 oz. Pastured Bacon
1 lb. Organic Broccoli
I Organic Shallot
1 3″ piece Organic Ginger
4 Organic Habanero peppers (Be careful. Remove seeds and wash your hands after dicing)
Organic Cayenne Pepper
Pink Himalayan Salt
1.5 full containers of Pacific Organic Turkey Bone Broth
6 tbs. Grass-fed Butter
1/2 lb Organic Blue Kale
2 Organic Sweet Potatoes
3 Organic Beets
2 tbs. Organic Coconut milk
Half can Organic Pumpkin
1 Organic Sweet Italian Sausage
1 Organic Spicy Chicken Sausage
Brown the meat in the butter and bacon. Thinly dice up the vegetables and sauté on the side in a separate pan. When ‘al dente’ add to the meat and combine the bone broth. Let it come to a boil and then turn down to lowest heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
Let cool and Enjoy!
A few of the many benefits of eating wild game:
1. Wild game is leaner than farmed meats.
This is because wild animals walk, run and roam all day. One misconception about “organic” meat is we assume the animals are allowed to roam free. Sadly, this is not always the case.
2. No antibiotics or other pharmaceuticals to worry about.
3. No hormones
we all know the detrimental effects of hormone-laden meats- especially to young children. Yet they are still commonly used by the conventional meat and dairy industries. For hormone-free insurance, opt for wild game, hormone-free grass-fed meats, and organic pasture-raised dairy.
Elk Meat benefits:
Elk meat is a one of those rare foods that is very healthy for you and still tastes great!
– Elk is naturally low in fat, low in cholesterol and high in protein.
-Elk is a dark red, dense meat. It is very tender and does not need marinating.
-The taste of elk is similar to beef. Elk has a little more flavor, just enough to know you’re eating something special. With elk,especially farm-raised elk, you never have to worry that the meat will taste “gamey.”
– Elk meat can be substituted for beef in most recipes with a few changes. Since elk is so low in fat it is important to remember not to overcook. Elk will cook quicker and if overdone will dry out and be tough.
