My routine targets the same goals of busy lifestyle and budget. I prefer (preferring to save money and time for traveling.travelling)
A slow cooker (crock pot) is my key tool for making amazing food, while spending very little and not wasting time.
- Routine
- Cook lamb (bone-in) in slow cooker (1-2/week cooked overnight or while at work)
- Reserve liquid. Once cooled you have nutrient rich stock and tallow (fat).
- Typical breakfast: Fast until mid-day. Used to be eggs with onion, garlic and veg.
- Typical lunch at work: Leftover meat in it's own stock. With veg. Add fat when the cut off meat is too dry or lean (unlikely with lamb). Sometimes potato with butter.
- Typical dinner when in a hurry: Leftover meat, eggs (sometimes liver) fried with garlic, onions and veg.
- Snacks with lunch or dinner:
- Carrot salad (carrot,vinegar,coconut oil, spices) made 1-2 week
- Pâté straight up or using carrots to dip
- Shopping list in London, UK. Most are easily available in Ireland. (In order of my priority):
- Lamb roast. Bone-in cuts like shoulder, leg, shank.
- Eggs
- Butter (Irish has some of the best. All those green fields to eat up)
- Garlic (tons!)
- Red onion
- Brussel sprouts
- Broccoli
- Potatoes
- Coconut oil (Not required. Can be ordered online in bulk)
- Lamb liver
- Carrots
- Pâté (mmm. Rich in K2 if that is a concern)
- Sweet potatoes
- Spinach
- Lamb belly/breast (fatty fatty goodness. Equivalent to pork belly)
