Keema (Ground Lamb) with Edamame

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds of ground free-range lamb

  • 2 white onions diced small

  • 2 tsp of ground garlic

  • 2 tsp of ground ginger

  • 1 tsp of ground cayenne powder

  • 1 tsp of ground organic turmeric

  • ½ tsp of ground black pepper

  • 2 sprigs of fresh sage chiffonade and 1 sprig for garnish

  • 2 cups of shelled edamame

  • ½ cup of tomato sauce

  • 1 tbsp of sesame oil


Directions:

  • Heat oil over a moderate heat and add the onions and sauté until lightly browned.

  • At this point add the ground lamb, turmeric, cayenne, black pepper, garlic, and ginger, and sauté with the onions for an additional 10 minutes.

  • Mince the meat with your spatula to keep the meat from lumping together.

  • Now add the tomato sauce and sauté for an additional 10-15 min until all the flavors are incorporated.

  • Add the fresh chiffonade of sage and edamame and cook until the meat and ingredients are fully cooked and garnish with the sage at the end.

  • Serve with your favorite bread, rice, or quinoa dish.


This rich, flavorful dish is enhanced by the sage, which gives it a deep flavor and aroma. The black pepper, cayenne, and turmeric add spice and earthiness that elevate the dish to a new level. Lamb is a red meat that can be enjoyed on special occasions secondary to the fat content. As always, I hope you keep your health and well-being in center stage and live long and strong!
