Sheep milk products are an excellent source of calcium, are high in protein solids and are loaded with CLA (the good fat!) AND they taste great!

This makes a BIG batch to feed a hungry crowd or store in your freezer for a quick an easy meal later!

Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil

3 medium onions, chopped

3 cloves of garlic chopped

250 gms of fresh sheep milk curds OR 230 ml of sheep milk creme fraiche

1 medium yellow pepper

1 medium red pepper

1 kg of ground lamb

3 16 oz. cans of tomatoe sauce

3 tbsp of chili powder

salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Brown the ground lamb in a large pot. Salt and pepper the meat while it is cooking. Drain the lamb and set it aside in a second, medium size pot. Saute the onions, garlic and peppers in the same pot used for browning the meat (without cleaning it!) If there isn’t sufficient fat left in the pot, you may want to use a little olive oil.

Return the lamb to the large pot. Add the tomotoe sauce and chili powder. Cook on medium heat for approximately 1 and a half hours.

Serve up the chili in your favourite bowls and garnish with a few spoonfuls of the fresh sheep milk cheese curd or sheep milk creme fraiche.

Enjoy!

Taste test!

Is sheep milk appropriate for someone with an allergy to dairy products?

admin — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 13:18:58 +0000

If you have a known allergy to cow milk products, sheep milk products may be of help to you, since the main proteins in the milk are subtly different. However, some people will be allergic to all milks, so caution is advised. Please talk to your doctor if you have serious allergies. (…more info.)
