I love a good slow cooker meal and this Slow Cooked Lamb & Pumpkin Cous Cous Salad is a must try!

There is something so comforting about a warming, hearty stew as the weather gets cooler and this one is making use of the produce in season at the moment like carrot, celery and silverbeet.

Not only does the slow cooker preserve nutrients due to the slow and low cooking method but also having all ingredients in a sealed unit means minimal loss of nutrients.

Red meat is a once to twice a week occurrence in our house hold and when we do have it I will often go for lamb as love the flavour.

Lamb has the highest nutritional value when you purchase organic and/or 100% grass-fed. This will give you plenty of healthy fats, protein, B vitamins, selenium and zinc. As there are studies that show red meat can be associated with heart disease, kidney problems and cancers, a palm size of meat is all we need to get the nutritional benefits and keep these risks low.
