This recipe is full of delicious and hearty ingredients ready to warm you through the cold months.

Ingredients:

• 400dkg beef, minced 

• 750g baby potatoes, cut into chunks

• 1 medium-sized zucchini, cut into thick slices 

• 1 tbs of coconut oil

• 1 red onion, diced

• 2 carrots, diced

• 150g turnip, peeled & diced

• 500ml of vegetable stock

• 3 cloves of garlic, crushed

• 1 tbsp sage

• 1 tbs thyme 

• 1 tsp of turmeric

• 2 cm of fresh ginger, chopped

• 2 tbsp tomato purée

• Fresh parsley to decorate

• Salt & pepper to taste

Preparation:

• In a large ovenproof dish, heat a tablespoon of coconut oil. Season the beef with salt, pepper, garlic and set aside.

• Fry the onions for a few mins until turning brown. Then add the meat to the dish and cook over medium-high heat until brown, turning until chunks are sealed.

• Add potatoes, carrots, zucchini, turnip and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add tomato purée, ginger, turmeric, thyme, and sage.

• Pour in the vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over low heat until the meat and vegetables are tender, about 1-1½ hours.

• Remove the lid for about 15- 20 minutes towards the end and turn up the heat slightly to allow to simmer if you feel the sauce needs to reduce and thicken.

• Season to taste and serve with some green vegetables.
