I\u2019ve made vegetarian chili for the past two years and felt like a little change of pace. My taste buds were definitely happy for the change even if it meant I didn\u2019t win. Word to the wise, don\u2019t underestimate the vegetarian voters at a Chili Cook off! <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 16.0pt; font-family: Palatino;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 My lack of winning aside, the chili itself was delish. Several people told me that they \u201chate\u201d lamb usually but they loved my chili. So hooray for turning a few other people onto lamb. And yes, I know I know\u2026 Bianca how can you eat the cute little baby sheep!!! Well it tastes good for one and two it\u2019s good for you. <span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0<\/span>Sorry PETA friends but sometimes a girl just needs a little meat in her life. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16.0pt; font-family: Palatino;\">\u00a0\u00a0 Besides lamb has some great heart healthy benefits. It is <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16.0pt; font-family: Palatino; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\">commonly included as the meat consumed in Mediterranean diets, which have repeatedly been shown to help lower risk of cardiovascular disease. Grass-fed lamb is a significant source of omega-3 fats, which is associated with decreased risk of inflammation and heart disease. In addition, the ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fats is far better in grass-fed lamb than in the average U.S. diet. Also,<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16.0pt; font-family: Palatino; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\">Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is found in valuable amounts in grass-fed lamb. Increased intake of CLA is also associated with reduced inflammation and reduced body fat. <span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0<\/span>It should also be noted that about 40% of the fat in grass-fed lamb comes from oleic acid, a monounsaturated fat. This type of fat (for which extra-virgin olive oil is lauded) is also generally associated with decreased risk of heart disease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 16.0pt; font-family: Palatino; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\">Besides being filled with good fats grass-fed lamb is a very good source of selenium and zinc. Healthy intake of these antioxidant minerals is a protective factor against oxidative stress and development of heart disease. Lamb is a good source of hard to get vitamin B12 and also provides important amounts of the B vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, folate, biotin, pantothenic acid, and choline. Plus it has a good amount of copper. Cooper helps your body utilize iron, can reduce tissue damage from free radicals, helps maintain bone and connective tissue health, keeps thyroid glands functioning properly, and helps preserve the Myelin sheath that surround and protect our nerves. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 16.0pt; font-family: Palatino; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 16.0pt; font-family: Palatino;\">So yes, part of me feels slightly bad for liking to eat all the cute animals (lamb, goat, and rabbit). But, the bigger part of me knows that 1) they are good for me 2) I don\u2019t eat them that often and 3) damn it I like the taste so sue me. In fact I am going to take a bowl out of the freezer right now! It will warm me up on this chilly fall evening. I will have it with some brown basmati rice, a little Naan bread and left over Cilantro Chutney. I can\u2019t wait!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 16.0pt; font-family: Palatino;\">Bon Appetit!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><a href=\"http:\/\/inflatedtear.com\/fingerlickinkitchen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/IMG_4394.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-495\" alt=\"Indian Lamb Chili\" src=\"http:\/\/inflatedtear.com\/fingerlickinkitchen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/IMG_4394-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-size: 16.0pt;
