You will need (feeds 2 to 3):
300 g lamb neck fillet
4 medium onions
2 generous tbsp coconut oil
1 cm fresh ginger
1 cm fresh turmeric

4 ladles pf hot bone broth
2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
small bunch fresh parsley

1 medium-large cauliflower
1 tbsp coconut oil
1/4 tbsp ground turmeric
2 ladles of hot bone broth
2 generous tbsp butter

1. Peel the onions, cut them in half then, then slice thinly.
2. Melt the coconut oil, add the onion slices, toss to cover with the oil, set the heat to medium-low and cook the onions for 12 to 15 mins, stirring occasionally.
3. Add the thinly sliced ginger, turmeric and garlic to the onion, fry for a minute until aromas and the colour of the turmeric are released.
