Moroccan-Spiced Lamb Tagine with Cauliflower Couscous
Surprising Study Finds Meat May Protect Against Cancer Risk
Left-arm Turkish get-up 1-1-1 reps
Right-arm Turkish get-up 1-1-1 reps
Also,
Rope climb 3-3-3 trips
Lamb simmered with warm Moroccan spices and tomatoes, served over light cauliflower couscous for a rich yet low-carb take on a classic tagine.
Surprising?
Alternate left arm and right arm attempts on the TGU if you prefer.
For the rope climbs, climb to the “top”, control your descent, tap the floor with your foot, then head back back up without stopping. Pick a height for your “top” that allows you to complete 3 unbroken trips. If 3 trips up your rope is too easy, go legless. If still too easy, hold an L position.
Post TGU loads and rope "top" height to comments.

Preparation
Heat butter or tallow (1 Tbsp) in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add lamb chunks (1.5 lbs) and brown on all sides, about 6–8 minutes. Remove lamb and set aside.
In the same pot, sauté chopped onion (1 large) until translucent, about 4–5 minutes. Add minced garlic (3 cloves) and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Return lamb to the pot. Stir in diced tomatoes (1 cup), cinnamon (1 tsp), cumin (1 tsp), smoked paprika (1 tsp), ground ginger (½ tsp), salt (½ tsp), and pepper (½ tsp). Mix well.
Cover and simmer gently on low heat for 2 to 2.5 hours until lamb is tender and sauce is thickened.
Meanwhile, prepare cauliflower couscous by pulsing cauliflower florets (2 cups) in a food processor until grain-sized. Steam or sauté in a little butter or tallow until tender, about 5 minutes.
Serve lamb tagine over cauliflower couscous. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil (1 Tbsp) and garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley.
Though just an observational analysis, this study of nearly 16,000 U.S. adults found no link between higher animal protein intake and increased mortality. In fact, participants who consumed more animal protein had a modest but statistically significant reduction in cancer-related deaths. These findings remained consistent even after controlling for a variety of dietary and lifestyle factors, while plant protein intake showed minimal impact on cancer mortality.
