Fermented foods have slowly creeped onto American shelves over the last decade. Food from different cultures is now accessible to foodies and cooks the world over via the internet and early findings show that these fermented foods could be beneficial to your overall health! Healthy bacteria that grows during the fermentation process may aid in digestion and improve immune health. Foods like kombucha, kimchi and kefir can now be found on most supermarket shelves. Kefir tastes a lot like plain yogurt but has more of a smoothie texture. It’s a versatile ingredient to have in your refrigerator for not only smoothies, but dressings, marinades and even as a healthy drink filled with probiotics. This kefir marinated lamb is packed with classic flavors of garlic, mint and lemon that complement and cut through the richness of the meat. Lamb has a bold flavor that can handle intense seasoning so be generous with the spices and citrus when making the marinade. This recipe features the lamb over saffron rice but could easily accommodate various diets by substituting other grains like quinoa or greens, like spinach and kale.
