March is Nutrition Month; an annual campaign lead by Dieticians of Canada! Here is a healthy recipe from their e-book.
Ingredients
- canola oil 2 tsp (10 mL)
- moose, cubed 1lb 4 oz (575 g)
- small onions, cut into large chunks 2
- celery stalks, chopped 3
- carrots, peeled and chopped 5
- no salt added beef broth 4 cup (1 L)
- medium yellow fleshed potatoes, peeled and diced 5
- mixed vegetables, frozen 3 cups (750 mL)
- parsley, dried 1/2 tsp (2 mL)
- thyme, dried 1/2 tsp (2 mL)
- bay leaves, dried 4
- pepper 1 tsp (5 mL)
Directions
- In a large shallow saucepan or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Brown the moose meat and put aside.
- Add the onions to the saucepan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the celery and carrots. Cook about 7-8 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add the moose meat and stir. Add in broth, potatoes, frozen vegetables, parsley, thyme, bay leaves and pepper and stir. Cover, lower heat and simmer for 2 hours. Remove whole bay leaves before serving.
If you are having trouble finding moose meat, try a lean cut of beef such as round or loin. Serve with a baked whole grain tortilla, bannock or flatbread for a little crunch.
