Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

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

Equipment

  • VitaClay cooker or slow cooker Use VitaClay for lower histamine

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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
