Equipment

  • VitaClay cooker or slow cooker Use VitaClay for lower histamine

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs. beef shanks
  • 3 carrots peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 butternut squash peeled, seeded, and diced
  • 1 sprig rosemary, minced or 1/2 teaspoon dried
  • 5 leaves sage or 1/2 teaspoon dried
  • 2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar plus extra for finishing
  • 1 tsp. salt plus extra for finishing

Instructions
 

  • Add all ingredients to VitaClay or slow cooker. For VitaClay, choose the "stew" setting to slow cook for two hours. For a slow cooker, cook on low for 8 hours.
  • The resulting broth will be full of nourishing fats. Sometimes I ladle out some broth and strain it into a jar for future soups and stews and thin the remaining broth with some water. It's up to you how you like your final broth. Finish with extra salt and/or apple cider vinegar to taste.
  • This stew pairs well with sourdough rolls or rice. Serve a light vegetable on the side if you like, such as a salad or peas.

Notes

This stew pairs well with sourdough rolls or rice. Pair with a light vegetable, if you like, such as salad or peas.
