Butternut Squash and Lamb Stew

MMMM, fall foods 🙂

I’m experimenting with primal/paleo cooking lately by just substituting certain foods. I have a few upcoming recipes that will be using butternut squash (or other squash) instead of potatoes.

Ingredients:

• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 3 Tbs. grass-fed butter, ghee, or coconut oil
• 1 lb. lamb meat, stew chunks (leg or shoulder)

• 1 1/2 tsp. sea salt (or to taste)
• 1 tsp. Cinnamon powder
• 1 tsp. all spice powder

• 3 Tbs. tomato paste
• 4 Cups broth or stock (homemade, I used lamb)

• 1 butternut squash, peeled and cubed
• 1 Cup garbanzo beans (already soaked and cooked)

Instructions:

1.  Sauté garlic and onions in butter until turning golden.
2. Add lamb and fully brown on the outside.
3. Add salt and spices, mix.
4. Blend tomato paste with 1/2 Cup broth, then add to meat along with the rest of the broth.
5. Cover and simmer for 1 hour.
6. Add butternut squash and optional garbanzo beans.
7. Continue to simmer until butternut squash is tender.
