This is a random dish I threw together the other night and I showed you guys how I made it on my Instagram. I was suprised at how many of you wanted the recipe, so here you go, it's my body nourishing mince. This is the perfect pregnancy or postpartum meal (which is why I made it originally) as it's rich in nutrients which supports postpartum healing. The key ingredient in this meal is the organic chicken liver, organ meats are very healing to the body. Liver is a great source of vitamin A, vitamin B12, iron, zinc and folate to name just a few, all nutrients you need to support wound healing and postpartum recovery and also important nutrients to grow a healthy baby. This meal also contains lots of hidden vegetables and is high in fibre to support gut health.

 400-500g beef mince
 300-400g organic chicken liver

 1 onion, peeled and finely hopped
 4 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
